Time exposed: 6 seconds.

CZJ Flektogon 35mm f-2.4... enough said!
Flares don't come in unless shot straight into the Sun. Amazing for a lens 50 years old!!!

I still need practice using the F-1 trying to emulate spot metering with the 'E' type focusing screen. It's very hard trying to get everything exposed
