An old lead mine building on Grassington moor in the Yorkshire Dales National Park

I was asked by a relative if wouldn’t mind photographing some (Over 30 and counting) photo albums from his recently past mother. Nothing fancy just a shot of each double page. There are pictures going back to the early 1900’s Fascinating to say the least.
Anyway back to the grindstone…

Image was taken with a Fujifilm X-E5 and XF 50mm f/2.0 R WR lens. Exposure was 1/90 th of a second at f/2.8.
What’s not to love ? A small pocketable rangefinder camera with a fast, sharp 40mm f/1.7 Canon lens. This is a recent acquisition and I have been working on for a while. Like most totally mechanical vintage cameras equipped with leaf shutters the lubricant dries up and becomes a sticky mess preventing the shutter blades from firing at the correct speeds, or even firing at all. I have already removed the front lens group and thoroughly cleaned the shutter and aperture blades, re-assembled and re-lubricated all the parts and everything is now working as it should. Unfortunately the internal light meter does not work which is fairly common on these cameras. Now I am waiting for the new light seal kit I ordered to be delivered so I can finish up with this camera.
