Reception area, Radisson Blu Hotel, BERLIN

[pentaxpete]

We had a 3 day trip to BERLIN so i could visit some of my 'Old Scenes' from 60 years ago in 1957 when I was there in the British Army working in the British Military Hospital, Spandau ( British Sector) ... our Agent fixed us up with the Radisson Blu Hotel in East Berlin, near Alexanderplatz where i was not allowed to go as it was 'Russian Sector'. Hotel is famous for the huge Fish Tank in Reception -- I used my CHINON CG-5 + 24mm f2.8 Carl Zeiss Jena £10 bargain lens and 2011 outdated Kodak Colorplus 200 film rated 160 ASA.

Great photo. Your lens is excellent! Even better for a tenner. I've been to Berlin several times but I've never been there. Must pay a visit. My father worked at the army hospital at Netley around the same time that you were in Berlin.
