After all, what if you wake up and it’s a glorious spring day, full of colour, and you’ve got black and white film loaded? Exactly. Glad you’re coming with me on this. So I...

Only few 75mm lenses were produced in the past, like the Zeiss Biotar 75mm (a remake is available) and the Leica 75mm lenses for M-mount cameras. Leica never produced R-mount 75mm lenses. They do offer now a 75mm lens for L-mount cameras....

No oppressive heat, not too many tourists; I was told that the high season for tourists starts mid-September or so.
