an outfit I had - the top had shoulder pads and the shorts had cuffs...
If it had been a dress, it would have been something from the 40's
But yes, 1970 exactly was when I had the outfit.. The shorts were
safer than the mini skirts.
There was a time when Pentax made a nice slip-on cap.
Of course they didn't stay on as well as the snap-in caps.
So I avoided them.
Now I'm looking at putting a quality cpl on several lense.
The slim b+w is reasonably priced and high quality.
But it's slim because there are no front threads.

As ambivalent as I am about shooting weddings, moments like that make it
