Just a reminder that April is Zeiss Contax Month! I should be loading my Contax up and shooting some shots this month. I have not been using it for a while, but all is good again, and I am ready to start shooting.

Dang, shot a roll through my Contax II too early. Got film in my Contax D.....which sort of doesn't count.

As long is it is "recently" (say Jan 23 even December last year) it should be fine.

I hope to get out soon to shoot my Contax. In the meantime, here’s one from last year, made w/ a Contax IIa, Zeiss Opton 5cm f1.5, and Cinestill Double X developed in D96 Monobath. It was taken out on Point Pinole, a small peninsula into San Francisco Bay.

I bought a Kiev 4 or 4M (or whatever it is they call the one with the meter hump on the top) for the princely sum of $60. My first foray into the Contax-Kiev platform. To my delight (or surprise?) it seems to work perfectly.
