You may remember from the previous "old film shot" challenge that I spent some time in Sofia, Bulgaria in early 1970, with a small team converting some Fortran software to run on the ICL System 4 (an enthusiastic sales manager in English Electric Leo Marconi had sold them the S4 with the promise of our ICT 1900 software, just before the merger that created ICL). I had my little Werra 1 viewfinder camera, 50mm f/2.8 Tessar lens wind on by rotating the lens mount, lens hood reversed and screwed over the lens as a cover, nice little job. Anyway, I thought you might be interested in some of the photos I took, back then. EDIT: Most of these were on FP4.
1) Alexander Nevsky orthodox cathedral, in the centre of Sofia
2) "Side elevation" view of the brick-built cathedral... despite the communist government, lots of people were using it regularly
3) I really liked the "Soviet-style" sculptures and art round the city
4) Another sculpture near the cathedral, I think. Bit less Soviet style
5) There were many big bold posters; I bought a few and took them home, nearly giving my father a heart attack (better dead than red, he felt, after a lifetime in the army)
