the X-700 is dead

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2011.05.09

I got my test roll of film back this afternoon. The third trip to the camera shop did nothing. My beloved 15-year-old X-700 is unusable.

I'll put it on the "display" shelf for dead cameras next to the SRT-101. Goodbye, and thank you for your years of service.

On a brighter note, my 20mm manual focus lens is in order again; very happy with some of the pics I've taken with it!

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
