Couleurs du printemps

I didn't note how close the Retina focuses, but it's pretty close for a consumer rangefinder. it might even be closer than the M3 I used to have. It's boxed up now, and I'm heading to the post office to send it out for another repair (then time for bed). It gave me about 15 exposures on Saturday then died.

I skipped color correction on this one. The lens on this 1954 camera interprets colors quite differently than the Japanese lenses I'm used to, but I kind of like VueScan's first interpretation. Plus, you know, I'm tired and ready for bed. I hope you enjoy it on some level, I'll catch up a bit more tonight.

My Flickr friend Laurence le Gall gave me the title idea from a comment she left on a FaceBook image. Is my use of French correct here? Je ne sais pas.
