Definitely a worldwide phenomena...
and lesson learned... stay vigilante, individual action is a key.
We have typical spring weather at the moment... alternating days where the temperature is up and down with the occasional rainy day. Still wearing the early spring jacket with the odd day up in the 17°C range.
The 28mm was the first M-mount lens I purchased... I was using a Canon 50mm f/1.8 in (Canon) S-Mount with a LTM to M-mount adapter for a couple of months. But I really enjoyed using and getting to know the Elmarit, particularly around Tokyo.
Take care... Casey
What to do during down time...
These last couple of weeks and for the foreseeable future I am staying close to home... no travel, no public events, even put the Pilates classes on hold... so starting to think about breaking out some long overlooked and neglected gear. Leica MP, 50mm f/...
The black is MP is gorgeous
I have one in silver that I love and got a great deal on. However, the black is just really special and more stealth. I think if it was me who was quarantined at home, I would need to to do some dark room work. I must have at least 30 rolls sitting undeve...
I am really looking forward to walk the neighborhood...
and not using public transport means that I walk everywhere... or bicycle to the supermarket, so that's very positive. Good that you develop you own film... I did a lot when I was young, including wet printing, which was very satisfying... not possible in...
Different and difficult times we are living in ...
Keep well Casey and use the time by posting some great photos.
One of my best friends has their 93 year old mother in the house...

a great idea....
I think going back to the basic camera is super and with film. the viewfinder will make up for any missing automation. i love the neopan 400 especially developed in pyro...Casey please do take care of your self my frined and hope the situation gets better...
Thanks "berlin90'...
I have been happy using mostly ISO100 film but I do have a fair bit of ISO400 in stock. I like walking around with the 28mm... great size. The 50mm is a bit heavy, but I "suffer" through ; ) I am very positive, but we are still some distance from turning ...
Hahaha... good idea Echi...
I was thinking of some Zenith photos as it's still cool enough for the leather strap ; ) No chance to go to the beach, so interior watch shots might be the way to go... Casey
That’s a sweet photograph of your photographic gear!
Even if forced to, exploring the neighborhood with fresh eyes can be unexpectedly rewarding. Hope you stay healthy and find some great shots.
