first experience with the canonet
great lens.killer sharp.great color rendition.meter ok for print film.
very quiet shutter.small size.hand holdable at 1/4 as easy as 1/30 in SLR.
quick focus(if not dark or contra-lit).great flash.
The rangefinder is very uncomofrtabe for me as a SLR user.
The inability to focus on something that is not in the center of the finder,especially at large apertures is a killer.The lack of depth of field table is uncomfortable.
need more experience i guess.
Canonet 17 ql gIII
I got a canonet from a guy named Bert Lippel from photo.net.
He just sent it to me,free of charge,paid himself for express delivery from the states and all.
Thank you,Bert!

Benedectine
Drank some Benedectine yesterday,it has a pleasent allthogh medicinal taste.

bought some books today
while making my arrangements went to the book store and bought Herman Hesse Demian,Salman Rushdi Satanic Verses and Irving Welsh Ecstasy.
I just finished reading the first two short stories in Ecstasy and it is shit.
While I loved trainspotting(book and movie) these shorts are disapointing.
Shock value over literary talent.Hope the third one is better.
Hello world!You suck!
Hello,this is the first post.

Went around the old city of Beer Sheba for arangements with Anna and took some pics with my pentax k1000 and 50/2 lens.Forgot how smooth it is and how much I missed it using my praktica mtl3 and yashicamat.
Yesterday developed 10 films,sent them for scanning today.
