A Hasselblad, more than 40 years after first looking.

Makiflex 180 F2.8 Zebra Sonnar FOMA by Nokton48, on Flickr



The zebra 180mm F2.8 CZJ Sonnar (uber hacked rear mount completely removed, refitted into Plaubel Peco Jr recessed board). Makiflex Standard FOMA 200 Mic-X. Lens will just cover, 18"x18" area is as far out as it will focus. Amazing Sonnar bokeh. This lens is a fave for Pentacon Six fans, this is pushing the envelope with larger format. I like the delicate lighting on this one.
 
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Canadian cuisine (aside from butter tarts!). No offense to you Canadians, but is there something that's considered quintessentially Canadian besides the regional dishes (like my all-time favorite, poutine :D)?

Yeah, when I lived in Montreal I found this arresting. How different would Canadian be from American? More realistically you can be damned sure that few if any restaurants in Canada are going to advertise "American" food. Yeah, there is poutine and tarte au sucre (your teeth will scream) and other French Canadian dishes. As a "furriner" while up there I found it best to accept things like this rather than question them. Canadian nationality can be touchy especially when questioned by a "US'er". "Peace, Order and Good Government", more than a catchy slogan, a great way to run a country.
 
In Australia, suburban and country Chinese restaurants would almost always say Australian and Chinese food. For us that meant lamb chops and potatoes.

Fish and chips, shepherd's pie, tourtière (pork pie), poutine of course, butter tarts, Nanaimo bars, peameal bacon. It's a seeming combination of French Canadian, English, Scottish and American.
