It was a cold gray day warmed by the wonderful company of the indomitable @aaronberjohn. Thanks for such a fun shoot and being so patient as I tried to figure out how to work the camera and then waiting almost a year.
Aaron is a dear old friend and an excellent human being but it's still intimidating shooting a professional actor, I mostly just shoot landscape.

Test scans with an improvised tripod + mirrorless camera + non-macro lens is still significantly better and faster (after all the initial faffing) than the flatbed scanner. I'm excited to get the rest of the kit sorted. Photos from my first test roll on the Rolleiflex.

Zone focusing is hard, especially in lower light shooting closer to wide. Sharing some of the disappointments, keeping it real!
Finally getting my scanning setup back together, I have some disappointing rolls to go through but I've learned a lot from those experiences. Mostly about exposing longer and developing techniques.
In December, I was in New York and went on a pilgrimage to the B&H Photo Video store and it was... AWESOME!
I got to meet a lot of nice people and they were generous and excited to have their portraits taken. It was a wonderful afternoon, I picked up a bunch of film, got to check out printer paper in person, and geeked out about my 1935 Rolleiflex. 100% would recommend!

Shot two rolls of Arista EDU, 200 and 400 and I think I much prefer Kentmere but I can't describe why. This wasn't my best developing job but I had fun, trying to think of photos as pairs (practicing for a future half-frame? 
)
First roll with the Olympus 35 RC, a truly pocket-able full manual control range finder, and Kentmere 400 was a pretty good experience. I leaned towards the darker scenes to see how well the 2.8 lens and the 400 ISO combo works, and it's serviceable.
My brain is calibrated to ISO 100 from years of landscape tripod photography so trading stops of light is kind of a fun game.

After getting the mirror replaced [1] and with all the wind in my sails, I shot another roll with the LM for #FP4Party. The viewing lens focus was tack sharp, whatever broke the mirror also caused misalignment between the taking and viewing lenses 
. Please share any repair guides/suggestions.
I was pretty excited about some of the shots, pretend they're not blurry, ok?
