I went to Ireland these last two weeks. I thought my Canon T90 would be more convenient to shoot, but it broke down. Happily, I had a Fed S with a Sonnar! Two photos: one from Belfast, the other from Kylemore abbey (in fact, a castle). If you want photos of the Connemara, I can!
At the end a mechanical camera without electronic exposure meter will function always. After the refurbishment of my FED-3, Zorki's -6 and Kiev-4 and the lenses they can function another 50 years. Nice pictures. My next trip will be Schottland, high lands or so.
You are right, for sure, Robert. But I could clean the blades of the shutter with some white spirit. The blades glued by the grease is a great classic, on this Canon T90!
As you insist, a photo of the Connemara, always with my Fed S and the wartime 2/5cm Sonnar.
