I took my old GR II for a walk

After my GR II spent the last 2.5 years more or less in the cabinet, because I preferred the GR IIIx, I was in the mood to use the 28mm instead of the 40mm, again. I'm still very happy with the quality delivered by the GR II, and I still prefer the positive film effect of the II over that of the IIIx. It's best to have both in your bag.

These have a great mood. A transparent calm in what are usually busy places. I am not a big fan of vignetting, but I guess that is a matter of personal aesthetics.

I like your framing on #2

Thank you for this comment. I often try to bring interesting leading lines into a picture. In this picture I tried to find a framing that supports these lines.
