Thank you, Greg -

Many of those old slides from '66 and '67 are so fuzzy that I was embarrassed to post them on the NGDF, but I posted b&w conversions anyway, a couple of years ago (see the "Moldy Oldie" thread starting at [ngdiscussion.net]).  And not just the photo above, but my memory too was fuzzy.  As corrected in the post above, I was still using my dad's old east German Praktika in 1967 – I didn't acquire the much better, though still not pro quality, Pentax H3v until the following year.
