Little tower with Chestnut roofing, in the garden of the museum in Crozant, Creuse.

Also taken with a 127 size camera, a Yashica 44, another delightful miniature, this time a TLR. Like the Komaflex, I gave up on the problems of slicing 120 film - I found it almost impossible to do this without leaving either scratches, or other defects, on the film.

I still have a Yashica 44LM, but it's in poor condition, and it is way down the list of priorities at present !!

Marta, many thanks for your encouragement !! (And the invitation !)

One of the reasons I like living in central France, is the multitude of unspoiled buildings !!

Thank you for the lovely series of architectural studies as the system winds down.
I just made some wire loops to attach a neck strap on my Y-44. It has the wind knob (no crank) and I can only count 6 reflections so I could probably have used it on this group. Someone had been in it before as I had to fix the shutter and relocate the mirror to its correct position. I have hardly laid a hand on it since then - only to put some electrician's tape over the light meter to help make it last a bit longer.
If I was a bit more mobile maybe I could capture a few but none will be as good as the ones you've posted. Thank you. (I've been warned off driving for 3 months by the neurosurgeon. :-(

Murray, many thanks for your kind words !!

Interesting about the tape on old lightmeters, I've always found the exact opposite - give 'em half an hour under a powerful quartz light,- often gives even hopeless cases another lease of life. The other thing is the connections, and I always hesitate to get the soldering iron out (!), but the electro-conductive paint they sell in motor stores for repairing rear screen heaters, and so on, works a treat !!

Sorry to hear that you're grounded, - take it easy, and get well soon !

Best, Mike
