Nice set of photos Raid, especially the night shot.  Did you learn how to say Haw-vaad?

PF
I am afraid that I missed the "Haw-vaad" lecture!
Thanks.

I used a newspaper stand that had rain on it as my tripod for the night shot.

What is the cost of a CLA by DAG? I have sent him mainly lenses so far.

$65 + shipping in 2009.

Rich - You may have misunderstood: this is a full-frame 35mm.

Ahhhh ... my mistake. Either way, at my current rate it'd still take me awhile. Smiley

Thank you for the information, James. This is a very fair cost to CLA a Minox.

They're great little cameras.  I used to always carry mine on business trips.

With a mini tripod, or propped against a post or wall, they are great for night shots, except that the shutter is so quiet, it can be hard at times to tell it has tripped.

Excellent lens on this camera. I spent five years in Cambridge, MA as a student - these shots stoke memories.

Hi Dave,
It was a brief trip that was research related for me. I have been many times in Boston over the years as I had two cousins living there.
