Ricoh 300 Test Roll

[br1078lum]

After getting the 300 back together, I was itching to run some film through it, so after church on Sunday I headed out with a roll of Ilford FP-4, a roll of Kodak Ektar 100, a meter, and the 300 in a little vintage camera bag.  It was a bit too gray for color, so I loaded the Ilford.  And it was just above freezing, so I took a couple shots here and there to let my hands warm back up between locations. 

Started up in the hills, then headed back into town for some urban landscapes.  The cold didn't seem to bother the camera, and the rangefinder aparently is in adjustment except for the vertical, which I fixed today.  It's a good handling camera.  Just a bit smaller than the 500 and 519, but very nicely built.  Here are some samples, with a link to the complete set at the bottom of the post.

Nice job, Phil!  Next time you're out, get me a close-up of that (or some other) train engine.  I'm looking for a good one to hang up in my little gallery.

Will do, Pete.

Thanks, everyone.
