Photo by mackiechartres

After the Lubitel photos, the Fed ones. This rangefinder is really a nice camera to handle, and the Jupiter 8 is a jewel. The only annoying point is the rewind button, quite hard ti turn, you have to be patient ! I didn't use any light meter, I based my settings on the "sunny 16 rule" - it worked well, but maybe sometimes I should have opened one stop lower. The sun was behind the clouds mostly, but when it came out, the floor tiles reflected the light quite strongly.

When you turn on those lights the R4 runs 10km/h slower as they need so much power ;-)

Sympathy - R4 seems to have been your first car then!?

LOL @msiegel @lomo-elysion 😂
it wasn't my first car, but I remember crossing France from north to south in a "4L" as we called it, with my friends or my cousins ; when there was a side wind we didn't go too straight & I didn't feel too comfortable !

@mackiechartres A Renault 4 was my grandmothers 1st car, back in the 1960ies. She done her driving test together with my mum. The car had a name, Justus.
I crossen France from the Atlantic to the Mediterrean on my bike once. Leaning for 500 km because of the side wind. I remember to correct each time we passed a lorry. Straighten her at the rear end leaning in on the front again. Became second nature for that day ;-)

Nice story @msiegel 👍we all have memories with cars and bikes... but giving a name to a car, that's so cute !
