My Everyday...

These things are always with me. Sometimes, I carry the normal Carl Zeiss f/2.8 Planar lens and a Case pocket knife; but these are my "Everyday".
My favorite camera is the 500 "Classic" CM. My favorite lens is the old 150mm f/4 Sonnar "C" chrome lens. I sold this model of lens in 1965. It was years later when I finally acquired one in mint condition. I use the EV settings which are on the Gossen Super Pilot light meter shown here.
The shutter speed is locked to the "f" stop so I can choose depth of field by turning them together or I can override with a convenient switch.
I had to process the film and sepia the print, because I feel the age of this equipment warrants it. This is why I have posted this near the deadline.
Also, I always have this most powerful flash in the car, as well. It is the Sunpack 622 Super with "zoom" head. I can bounce it often with plenty of light and no shadows. It has been the best strobe I have ever owned.
Note: The table, chair and hutch are solid oak made by the Amish.
