Hi, Just trying to keep the PESO density up a bit ;-) I spent some time recently trying to get my slide scanner installed again (had reinstalled/updated the OS so there were still things like this to sort out.) The timing of this could be handy; I stayed with my parents over Christmas and spent some time looking through some of my Father's slides (four boxes of 2 to 3 hundred slides each). In amongst them are plenty of photos of various places around the world in the late 60's early 70's. Could be interesting, I can see some scanning on the horizon. They were all taken with a Pentax SV with a Super Takumar 50/2, the pentaprism-mounted light meter, and possibly 35mm and 135mm lenses. This, really, is the beast that got me interested in cameras when I was young... My Father still has it and, apart from the PX-13 cell of course, it still seems to be in working order.
Anyway, back to the PESO. I've revisited the Japanese Garden photo I posted a month or so ago. This time I've been able to scan it myself rather than relying on the PhotoCD I had, and cropped it slightly differently after the suggestions from last time. The garden is in the grounds of Kodaiji, a temple in the eastern hills of Kyoto, Japan. It can just about be seen on Google maps in amongst a cluster of other temples and shrines: <maps.google.com/maps?q=kyoto,japan&ie=UTF8&z=19&ll=35.000683,135.78125&spn=0.001624,0.003374&t=h> The garden is right in the middle there.
