September 18, 2024: A walk in a local trail network a short drive from the house. The northern section of the trails are a popular destination for mountain biking but the southern end makes for some nice walks through the forest.

I recently purchased a half case for my old Zorki 1 so I could carry it with a strap. The camera came with the original Soviet leather case but I’ve always found it cumbersome to have to unbutton and open up the case to be able to shoot. It was nice to use that camera again and I’m always amazed at the results that come out that old Industar-22. I think there’s something about those simple lens designs that make for a very “transparent” rendering. I had the same experience out of my old 1930s uncoated Leica Elmar 50/3.5.

Film was Kentmere 100, developed in D-76 stock.
