Super Rokkor Chiyoko 45mm

A few months ago I had the chance to buy an old Chiyoko (Minolta) Super Rokkor 45/2.8 lens from 1954, the design is even older from the mid (?) 1940s I guess, designed for a Minolta 35.  (further information on this site)

I just thought I might give it a shot, since I was looking for a 50mm lens anyway. Now I got the first roll developed and I’m truly amazed.

Damüls

The last post is only a few days ago but I was very productive. I wanted to see the pictures from our skiing trip to Damüls, Austria.

Meppen_Damüls_2013_trix_-20

YES, the weather was nice and the alps looked unreal :)

Meppen_Damüls_2013_trix_-22

That was the next morning, ready to ski, so no photographs. I didn’t want to hurt me or my camera. First i loaded two rolls of color film – they are still in the lab.

Walking the dog

Damüls_2013_Film_-2So I start a few days later. Jan’s enjoying the mix of snow and sun

The skyline of Damüls. A few days earlier this was actually my very first downhill, from the point where the fellow is.

On the road to Austria. The Alps look really impressive. I live in the marshland so everything higher than 7m makes me dizzy

WP_3_2013_-1-6

We arrived in Damüls, what a scene. I find it almost to tacky but that’s how it looked. Oh I like the mountains!

WP_3_2013_-1-3

This was the look out of the window, yay! Perfect conditions for a novice on ski. I took the indestructible Konica Offroad 28 tank with me while skiing. The film is still in the lab…

WP_3_2013_-1-4

One late afternoon. Who is gonna live in these houses?

Same scene at night.

Back home, unpacking – always the unfortunate part of the trip.

We drove to a nature reserve and there was this sign, i find pretty funny

WP_3_2013_-1-14

i all used to look like…

this…

WP_3_2013_-1-16

We saw a yellow ballon in one of the trees, with a note on it.

WP_3_2013_-1-17

…so i decided to climb it.

North Holland Days…

Last week we drove all the way to the west to the north of holland. I had my new camera (Fuji X100) with me but of course the new camera broke a few days before we left – yay to the sticky blades! so all i could use was f2. the light metering was also more of a guessing game but because it’s digital thats not a big deal. some days i wasn’t in a photography mood so the order is quite messed up.


so we started our trip

we arrived…

yeah the AF from my new camera rocks totally (not), but i still like this picture

yeah that’s what you get from time to time from the awesome focus

 

 

 

 

On the way back from the beach, we stopped by this “kipenhok”

Working on our trip to Amsterdam

After the walk we had some coffee at one of the beach shacks that actually in the last years turned to restaurants

I should start to surf

It was right there but brrr freezing cold!

Back on the campsite there are a lot of caravans where you see a lot of selfmade stuff, that kids and families tinker. it’s one of the few places without TV and internet, so people actually do enjoy their surrounding.

The next day we went further south, to see how the dunes look there

Klick

We were so tired because of the head wind and wanted some coffee so badly but we only found this… damn it!

i guess they were hungry too

Next day on the way to Amsterdam

i didn’t really was in the mood for photos

wily bird

we spent our eve in a few bars

this was café brecht – nice place!

Next morning, breakfast. i was so tired, i could not sleep… uch

Urban A. on the way to the new north of Amsterdam

Go go Geographers ;)

The “new north” reminds me of east Manchester

My kind of shopping

Back home!

I guess that’s the craziest caravan on the campsite
