    What lens is that?

    Here is an old camera of mine: Exakta Varex IIa with Zeiss Tessar 50mm f/2.8 (from 1960)

    My very first camera. Pentax SP1000 from 1975, that served me faultlessly for several years. Also in the shot the fun OM5 from a few years back, a faithful companion on many hikes.

    Sorry, forgot to say Asahi Lens Co 400mm, aka Takumar.

    Nice!

    My M42 Zeiss Flektogon 20/4 goes well with my original Sigma SD9 ...

    At the time we graduated from the "Gymnnasium" it was usual to paint veteran cars red and use them for excursions. Nowadays my grandchildrens generation buy and paint buses while hiring permanent drivers with the right type of licence (especially important if festivities turn intoxicating) .

    This snap was made by a friend using an almost equally old 6x9cm and some kind of Kodak B&W film (which i did not develop myself).

    Later I have preferred much smaller formats, preferring sharp images (even in a short while when using shirt pocket sized Minoxes) , some time before diapositives disappeared I also found having a darkroom was too much.

    When digital devices became competitive I only excercized very few analogue cameras sparingly, but stil keep a roll of Ilford XP in the fridge

    Couldn't help but notice the license plate, a soixant-trezier - so not far from Paris?

    I remember from long ago, Parisiens being called "soixant-quinzers" and much disliked by country folks during the summer vacation ...

    Not French , a Norwegian plate; where A: indicates the capital Oslo. The numbers behind the letter were dished out sequentially.

    When car imports were liberalized in 1960 (when post ww2 foreign currency dearth had ended), veteran cars had been kept running a long time.

    Later the plates got a different code and did not change when the car changed ownership or moved between counties. Veteran cars may still obtain period-correct plates.
