I love that paw, looks like it's big lion counterpart. And what a beauty of a camera!
I began reading the "Carl Zeiss Planar" line in the descrip. and thought your cat's name was Carl Zeiss Planar. Why I didn't think it was named Rollei Rolleiflex escapes me.

Super cat and great capture. Love the mirror edge, light and that furry thing on your neck!

That is awsome mate. I have an old Seagull at my mothers in the UK.
Have some pictures on here somewhere. Still takes great pictures.

Looks like the scanner works well.

calanan says:

Oh Mark, the stories about this cat I could tell!

This was the last frame of my first roll through the camera and I just had to make it a combined self- and Jake-portrait.

He does have a bit of Sphinx in him, nice observation Tamara!

Matt, he's a fantastic neck warmer, though his kung-fu grip is a bit clawy these days.

Louis, I've only seen the Seagull in shops, never used one...lemme know if you get some scans uploaded.

Thanks, John, it's a beauty. I'm struggling with curvy film and Newton Rings right now, I think I need a better 120 carrier than the one that was included. Otherwise it's a wonderful scanner.

kones says:

hmm, I always thought that stoles were dead when you wore them, guess I was wrong. Maybe this is the "real" way to wear them

calanan says:

Paul, I'll scratch your eyes out, I mean it.

Michael, it's not mine, a good friend has loaned it to me. I'm doing very well, thanks, getting prepared for the holiday season. A very Happy Hannuka to you and your beautiful family!

Another Mike...good name...thanks for letting me know!

Oh yes, this really is the way to do it...built-in warmer, no worried about PETA coming down on your for wearing dead fur...all that good stuff.

Sam Haque says:

Great shot. I just found you while looking for 8600F scanner samples. Looks like it works great for 6x6 web purposes. Have you made any large prints? How do they look? I would really appreciate if you let me know what you think about the 8600F so far.

That shot is priceless! Jake is beautiful. (OK handsome) What kind of cat is he? And I would love to have the camera.
