Has the noun 'resilience' got anything to do with the verb 'to resile' ?
To some degree I have resilience. And I still have a perfectly good OM-1.
My partner came into some money the other day and donated me a small
part of it. Through a process of convoluted reasoning, I deduced therefore
that if I used some of that gift I would myself be paying only half the
purchase price for that Kiev 4, which was more reasonable ..... and so it
arrived at my door at 8:15 this morning.
A fascinating beast, with a lot in common with my Contaflex from the 1960's.
It should be a fun toy; I need to get back into B&W to do photography maybe
more in tune with it's character.
One certainly appreciates the integrated functions of a modern camera,
when going back to this.
The vendor is quite a photographer in his own right, and this Kiev 4 was one
of 3 he imported from a reputable Ukraine vendor a little while ago.
I praised the images he showed on the auction site, and asked what gear he
used for them.
