Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must, just never give up [D.K.], that's the joy of an analogue day.

In olden times I was looking for a pocketable film camera to bring with me in the mountains and I was suggested a Minolta Riva Zoom 75w for its rather interesting wideangle lens [28mm f/3.5]. I have used it a lot and despite of its cons it has always worked like a charm for my humble needs. It's a pity to leave this camera on the shelf so I've decided to give it another try before starting to look for a wideangle lens for my OM-1 [e.g. a Zuiko Auto-W MC 28mm f/2.8 lens]. Here are some photographs taken at 28mm.

I'm eagerly waiting for the right day for going in the mountains and meanwhile I keep running here and there, this time in a small town along the docks in the lagoon.

I've decided to use again the little Minolta Riva 75w for a project I have in mind and for the occasion here are some [unleashed] pics taken tons of years ago during gorgeous MTB rides [courtesy of Konte].

Long story short, the pleasure to evoke the oldest days. Raiding your parents' closet for cool old things is a must if you're looking for unique vintage stuff :). Jokes apart I've found this old Voigtländer Brillant camera [metal body, Anastigmat Voitgar 75mm f6.3 lens, 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, B]. At first glance it seemed ok but on closer inspection has revealed a very dirty lens, a sticky shutter, the zone-focus ring hard to turn and many inner mechanical parts rusty. I've searched a bit the web and I've found here and there some useful hint on how to disassemble the lens and the zone-focus ring. Since I like tinkering with these old cameras I've decided to do this by myself, come hell or high water. Here are some pics of the roll, mainly shot at f11, 1/100 [hand metered with my faithful Zeiss Ikon Ikophot light meter].
