...and starting a new day here in Fairbanks Alaska where the current temperatures are +5F(-10C) with several inches of snow,6 hrs of daylight and losing about 6 minutes a day for the next5 weeks.
After getting caught up in the photography hobby, I acquired a 1936 Voightlander Bessa RF with the Compur-Rapid shutter and the Helomar 1:3.5 lens. I have my best results with using Ilford Delta 100 and Pan F Plus 50 film. I am able to do my own developing on a Beseler 23cII enlarger with the 6X9 negative holder. In addition, I am able to use a print dryer. With people going digital, I lucked out on getting most of my film equipment.
To end here I also use a Kodak No.2 Brownie Model F,still experimenting with the simplicity and whether to stand with my back to the wind or to face it and should I close my left or right eye!
