Wow!  Cheaper in N.Y.!!!!  I thought I was doing well paying $6.12 for 3 hrs.
here!  I may save my film for the next N.Y. trip.  Where is your lab?

About my film- the vignette did not show up without the lens shades, and I was
shooting some at f5.6.  So, I guess I will have to file down the adapters.  I
also realized I have to memorize the Depth of field and distance setting chart
on:

My slides were out of focus in the foreground.  I find it difficult to focus
using the viewer in the camera as it never seems to focus.  So, memorizing the
chart should help.
I had my twin XA2 with me and hope that I at least got some shots I missed
with the Sputnik.  We were in the Village and happened on a Rolls Royce with a
mattress strapped on the top of the car.  It was interesting listening to
various responses from passersby.  Even the bikers seemed disgusted by it.
Everyone passing by who had a camera was taking pics of it.

y'all over to swim in the cement pond!)
