I visited Iga-Ueno to shoot photos from Ueno-Castle place, just immediately after rainfall and fine cremate with some mist in the mountain. Though I could meet with the specific timing, the result was not so favorable, an old Minolta TC-Rokkor 135/4 triplet tele-photo lens was invited for the purpose in addition, Minolta MC-Rokkor-PG 50/1.4 was accompanied together for ordinary use. As the reviews say the performance of latter lens is superb with no way to complaint. To tell the truth, not a few old silver salt period lenses have been thrown away for long time, just prepared not tested and not used at all, I must oblige myself use them at any rate, once they had been prepared to be used and tested for myself and by myself, over 20 in number are waiting for my determination.

Lack of steering stability while straight running in Rubicon obliged my son replace front lower arm into 1 cm longer one in order to increase caster action. Now he is in test running, but remember here not only caster angle but also camber and toe-in values will be changed at the same time together if only lower arm length is extended. Let's see what will happen, though I'm afraid of getting himself into deep darkness, because he is not an experienced engineer to belong with some researching and developing division of the constructor. As for my opinion, he should not be suffered from product imperfections, he should enjoy his own life by utilizing Rubicon instead. I hope his effort will not become in vain.
