Olga

Olga, in the form of a FED 2 rangefinder arrived the other day from CaNada. I'm part of a small project which uses Olga to shoot pictures, post them on www.nelsonfoto.com and then pass it on to the next in line.
Feds are not my fav camera but thought I'd give it a go. Couldn't figure out where the film speeds referred to and the rangefinder seemed foggy. eventually, I sorted the latter problem when Jem @ Real Cameras in Manc. pointed the diopter lever out and I was sorted.
Saturday after Olga arrived, it was my partners birthday so we took off to the Lowry theatre in Salford, Manc. for a mosey around and a nice cup-of-tea.
Using Delta 400, I seemd to see shapes all day rather than landscapes. Here are a few;

Developed in FX-39, I had to tone the in Ps as I was not happy with origninal scan. We had a great day both here and later in Manc. at the theatre [play called Flags - since you ask] and easting out . Eve my partner has also started photographising and I'm looking forward to seeing those soon.
