Flickr says its my Flickr Birthday!
I was off and on for about a year; health problems and bypass surgery made it so! Many of the contacts I had left and new friends have been added. As a practice I do not say "thanks" to people commenting on my photo on the photo page itself; instead I try to comment back on their photos!
Thanks everyone for your Faves and gracious comments over the years. Life is good!
Greetings and wishes from Dhaka, Bangladesh!!

Yashica TL-Super with Auto Yashinon 50/2. M42 mount. Mine is a V2 as it does not have the film door lock lever on the bottom. Nice clean example, the film and battery compartments were spotless. I put a battery in it and ran a roll of (free, expired) film through it yesterday. The meter works! I guess I will see how accurate it is.
CSX Q422 continues east under the signals at TL after working Woodbourne with a now 160 car train in tow.
Long ago, I bought an Exakta 66 medium format camera. This was the camera purchase I regretted the most, because my Exakta 66 was woefully unreliable. Its shutter and film transport regularly broke down.
However, the, Exakta 66, which really was a Pentacon Six with a more modern look and a rubber coating, came with a Schneider Kreuznach Xenotar 80 lens. An excellent lens, on par with or exceeding the Carl Zeiss Planar 80 for Rollei or Hasselblad medium format cameras, at least in my humble opinion.
I always wanted to be able to use that lens, but I had come to hate the Exakta 66. So finally, 32 years after the Exakta 66, I got a Pentacon Six in good condition, one that had recently been serviced. It was that or a Kiev 60, another Pentacon Six Clone. I certainly will treat it very carefully; hopefully it will work well.
Mine has a waist level finder, which is what I wanted. Medium format photography with a prism eye level finder is, to me, just ... weird.

With the day off from work due to a doctor's appointment, I had a free afternoon, which coincided with one of the best powered trains to run the Trenton Sub in quite a while, CSX Q404-22...
After working Woodbourne Yard, CSX Q404 crawls east through CP TL at a snail's pace. A pair of Kansas City Southern locomotives, including KCSM ES44AC 4879 and SD70ACe 4053 trailing are on the point of the mixed freight.
