It is that time of the year again - Nikon Rf month. So, it might be closer to 6-7 weeks than a month to use up the film set aside. There are 30+ rolls of Orwo UN 54 (100 iso) loaded in Nikon cassettes - but, of course, the weather turned mean. Rain and gloom *1/60s at f1.4!) - so I loaded some left over Foma Retropan 320 instead. There are still 5-6 rolls of XX to process and scan before I go full-time Nikon RF.
Nikon S3 Olympic and the "new" Nikkor 35f1.8 from a 2005 Nikon SP and a Black dial S2 with a vintage Zeiss Biogon 21mm f4.5 and the correct finder - though the latter is just for this picture. It will exchanged for a Voigtlander 21 finder - much better and brighter!
In the background a couple of Bellamy's 10 pack boxes with Orwo Un 54 in Nikon cassettes. Wonder what we did before these boxes existed!

Weather is atrocious - pouring rain etc - so table top shots of camera/lenses to be used for Nikon Rf Month was more fun.
This is my 2nd S2 black dial. It has a bit weak rangefinder patch so it is usually used with uncoupled lenses. In this case the Heliar 12mm f5.6 and next to it the Heliar 15mm f4.5. These are fairly scarce Nikon F mount lenses and mounted on the S2 with Voigtlander F-S adapter (equally scarce!).
These are the widest rectilinear lenses that can be mounted on a Nikon Rf. I am waiting for some sunny days as Orwo UN 54 at 100 iso is a bit tough in this weather - though you can hand-hold the 12mm at a 1/4 sec with reasonable hope of success.

It is a tall Totem, almost 100 ft and it is now suffering from a weakened base. Hence the big brace. It is usually home to a pair of eagles who crowd the top.

A fad some years ago - very narrow houses. Land is expensive so this was one way to build a house.
When we lived in Toronto in the 80's we bought a row house - 14ft wide and three stories. Quite comfortable - though the stair were quite narrow.
