This post is simply an effort to share my happiness:
I can't explain to you how I got the Diana clone - it's a big secret project that is too much fun for words. All I can tell you is that it says "Shakey's" on the camera, that it's from the 1960s, and that a number of us photobloggers were each given one of these for a project.
The other is a Leica M8. It's equally hard to find right now - heck, a well-working Diana clone is probably easier to find. Unlike the Shakey's Diana, the M8 has a 28mm Elmarit 1:2.8 Aspherical lens on it.
I think you can understand why I'm extremely happy this week.
On Sunday I'm leaving LA. I'm going to NY, then Amsterdam, then Berlin over the next two weeks (as I do every four weeks) and I'm bringing these two babies.
