Trying out my new 135mm f/4 LS. Not the sharpest photo - f/4 @ 1/45s hand-held with a hyperactive subject, what can one do? I know, I know - but I had no gaffer tape available at the time.
There's a little play in the mount, almost like there's a screw missing, so I intend to baby the lens until such time as I can get it serviced; nevertheless, flash sync at 1/500s with a 645 camera is pretty cool. Immediate impressions? It's sharp, draws nicely, OOF is pretty unobtrusive, focussing is smooth and easy, and the in-lens shutter is easy to use after a tiny bit of practice. Methinks it's a keeper.

4 days toy hacking and circuit bending workshop with a group of 20 students from Willem de Kooning academy, Rotterdam.
a blurry image of hackers dancing at a party one evening -- which after 30-40 min was busted up by the hotel security -- fun while it lasted!!
In September 2015, Het Entrepot will place several young volunteers in a Bruges cellar where they will spend four days hacking into their home town’s DNA and thrashing out their dreams for Bruges. And all this under the watchful eyes of the outside world as cameras record the entire 4-day project.
They will brainstorm with each other but also have the help of various experts on the subject. Each day will close with an evening programme for the public. You are welcome to join in the debate on their ideas.

The Hacker-Pschorr tent was where we spent our second night of Oktoberfest. We were invited to join Miles' host family at a large table there which was amazingly good fun. We met all his host brother and sister's friends who all spoke amazing English and patiently allowed me to ramble on in high school level German. Easily one of the highlights of the trip. The roast chicken dinner was excellent as well.
So I bought a few things from KEH recently: a BGN grade 135/2.8 (for $60 they practically gave it away) a 55mm UV filter and an "as-is" inoperative Winder 2. Why would I buy an inoperative Winder 2 might you ask? Well, for a whopping .89 cents I figured I'd take a chance on trying to make my own grip for my OM. Took me about 45 minutes, but I managed to dismantle the winder (after making sure it really was DOA) remove the guts and put it back together. The battery compartment is more or less separate from the rest of the device, so I just took that off completely. My only complaint is that the bottom is now a shiny metal plate that is flimsy at best, and the actual grip itself is just slightly too large to be really ergonomic. I'm going to try using it to see how it handles in "real world" situations; if it doesn't help any, oh well, it was .89 cents and I got to see the guts of a Winder 2.

Starting life as a WW2 decoy station and later a Ground Controlled Intercept (GCI) radar site, the site at Hack Green was upgraded as part of the ROTOR programme in the late 1950's. Building a R6 type, two level concrete bunker for military command and control (C2) and serving as a joint military and civil air traffic control centre. This function ceased in around 1966 when the complex was mothballed but remained under Government ownership.
In 1976 the site was given a new lease of life when it was taken over by the Home Office, modernised once again and operated as a Regional Government Headquarters; coordinating the civil response in the event of nuclear attack. The cold war was coming to an end, and eventually in 1993 the site was decommissioned.
Now in private hands, the bunker has been a cold war museum since 1998 and boasts some very unique exhibits including what is reputedly the largest collection of decommissioned nuclear weapons in the world, and a rare Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS) console from RAF High Wycombe.
