Bruno, they are not ours, although i like cats and dogs we dont have any at present, the only pets we have are snails and slugs in the garden, plenty of them!

Lille, St Maurice "en ville".
Nikon FE, 50/1.8 AI, Ilford XP2 (400 ISO, set at 320)

Still experimenting. I'm considering finding another lab, this one leaves too much sticky dust on the negatives, including that one (c41 process). The film is excellent but delivers no "grain", hence the somewhat "digital" look. As I am shooting film as an alternative and complement to digital, I'll look elsewhere. I have started a roll of Rollei 400 "retro", we'll see. Otherwise, HP5. There is also that film with an extended red-to-near-infrared response (Ilford SFX 200) that I'd like to experiment with.

Cherry trees enjoy their short blossoming fling downtown Oslo. The tree reponds to daylight period more than temperture, apparently, as we have unusually cold weather for this time of the year. Night temperaturs go below the freezing point and we have occasional episodes of snowing.

The tiny Viltrox 20mm f/2.8 again does its job admirably. It's a a steal even without considering its low price. Only drawback is the lens hood that easily tends to dislodge and can get lost, but by adhering to Erik's hood fastening method this is no longer a problem.

Dabbling with epoxy in the near proximity to the front of a lens is dangerous and one could easily damage the lens beyond repair. So the trick is using tiny screws instead, see the attached image.
