Thanks Dennis, all I am posting are 'older' photos that I took. I had eye surgery on my right eye, and the left eye to come in a week or so. So I guess that I am alibiing for not putting up new stuff. Sure hard for me to put up with the wife's driving???
I lucked out on the Angeniux 50mm lens, I bought an Edixa with it on at a thriftstore for nickle & dime, less that 20 bucks. It had an Exakta mount. Then a week later I came across the Exakta at the same store, it had a Biotar lens on it. 58mm ? never have used it.
Then soon after that I seen a 28mm Angeniux len on evilbay. Got the bid for less than a hundred bucks, and no shipping cost. The seller lived here in town.

Ron, Best wishes for the work on your eyes. Those Angenieux lenses with the Exakta make a first-class outfit. I can't tell if they're manual or preset? Years ago when I got my first SLR, an Exa, I got an Angenieux 35mm for it, but never used it much. I hope that we'll see some more from your Exakta and those lenses.

These are great, especially the portraits.

I have somewhere in an old book pictures of the Angenieux factory.

Best wishes for your surgery, may your eyes be those of an eagle!

An enviable outfit, Ron. I like the conductor's portrait. He looks right out of the Civil War.
