My prescription is for varifocals which, as I know to my cost, can vary in the accuracy in which the new spectacles are … Continue reading A Polarized view

My previous two posts based on trying to get my wife’s old Olympus Trip 35 camera, Film - A Slight Return and Film - A Slight Return 2 explain that we were quite hopeful that everything was working on the old camera.
