A few classic computer photos

I tend to go to Jrssops (large UK camera shop chain). They do a 30 minute service (for not much more than the 1 hour service) amd will burn the CD. It costs \pounds 1 oe 2 for that IIRC. Not much. Of course I get the negatives, so if I want to make high-tesoultion scans, I can. Oh, I am sure there are professional labs that will scan to a much higher resuloution. Most of these picures were originally taken to illustrate talks I gave to HPCC. And the resolution was high enough for that. Err, a 50mm lens is a 50mm lens no matter what you put hehind it :-). The fact that a 50mm lens is a 'portrait' lens on my Olympus Pen FT doesn't change the fact that it's still a 50mm lens. And let's not start the myth that focal length affects perspective... I was lucky. I bought a Leica III (not an M3, a 1933 screw-mount thing) in a local camera shop for a very good price because they said it was totally jammed. After getting it home, I took off the top cover around the shutter speed mechanism, removed the second curtain latch, cleaned it up and put 1 drop of oil on it. Works fine, although sometime I should strip down the slow-speed escapement (it's sticking a bit). And then the same shop offered me a jammed M2, which I also bought. After buying the right ring wrenches, I took that apart too and have got it going, although the shutter tapers at high speeds. Again, I need to do more work on it. -tony
