Mt. Home is a big old graveyard across the street and a block down from my house. Whenever I go there I leave with Bob Marley's "When my work is over" song in my head. Unfortunately, it is a dead graveyard, in that they no long let new people move in (or so the folks I know who have plots there tell me.)

Anyhow - it's a great place to test lenses and stuff, and in the stuff category I picked up an old Ricoflex VII TLR a few days ago, and took it out for a test drive.

Here's a shot taken at f5.6 with focus set to infinity. There's isn't a sharp line in the frame, but it's not so radical as the Holga or some of the other antique cameras I've been fooling with. I figure that you only get so many sharp photos allocated to you, so you may as well save them for stuff that needs to be sharp, and let the stuff that is bettor being soft, be soft.

Nonetheless, I like the lines and the orderliness here:
