One of the most satisfying things about classic cameras is that so many of them still function after decades of use. The Lynx 1000 features the excellent Yashinon lens and has a top shutter speed of 1/1000.

The finder is bright and has an easy to see frame. The coupled rangefinder works perfectly. The light meter is right on the button. The Lynx has a solid feel. It would make an excellent weapon in an alley fight.


It’s been a hot summer in western Massachusetts. Day after day of heat and humidity. I went north looking for relief today but I found none. I’ll try and remember that when it’s ten below zero this winter.

Heat rises and distorts objects in the distance. Deer flies buzz and bite.
