Film Camera Weekend for May 19

OOps! Konica C35, not 35C...Clumsy fingers. Great series of shots from the FE2 you have there, Pinklather.

Thanks for sharing from the C35AF, Rick. We sold a few at the family camera shop despite the high price. The 38mm f2.8 Hexanon of course, was well-known for its use in the C35, C35V, and C35EF. While it only has four aperture blades, shots at medium to small apertures usually looked great.

Here is a product of what some enthusiasts insist is the best stereo camera ever.

In this case set up for cross-eyed viewing: Belplasca - from Dresden in the DDR

Interesting, JDMvonW. When I do a cross eyed stereo view, the left hand image seems to move across and align on top of the right hand image giving me the 3-D effect. I am left eye dominant. I wonder if for other people the right hand image seems to cross over and align on top of the left hand image.

It should be Spring but it's still not here, despite bringing out the RTSII (Manual, Gossen Luna Pro). TMY in PMK. Wet scanned BSH/V700.

 

Any way I seem to be going for the birds. CZJp 135.

 

 

SEAGULLS I.

SEAGULLS III.

A repeat of For Sail, or should that be Four Sail (?), at the Sydney Marina Brokerage, this time with the Distagon 35. I like this better.

 

FOUR SAIL #2.

That's interesting, James; I'm right-eye dominant and it does seem that the right hand image moves to the left to create the 3-D effect. Another phenomenon I've noticed previously is that it takes about 30 seconds for my eyes/brain to create the initial 3D effect, but when I look away and subsequently return to the image, the effect is recreated almost instantaneously. Thanks for posting, JDM.

 

Love the seagulls, Tony. Ah, I must go down to the sea again...

The two images just seem to merge for me, no one above the other. I can do the II-view, but I have to work at it, and only with some strain. Old habits from viewing aerial photographs, I guess.

 

Here's the camera itself

 

and my earlier post on it, inclluding some discussion of viewing such pairs with the "nekkid' eye ("free viewing")

I had a roll of color film to shoot, so I decided the old Exakta and prism finder needed to be used. I have the later model with the Black and white lettering. It has been serviced for shutter problems, but not curtain problems. It makes a very unique zzzrriiplp sound. I usually shoot this camera with the very fine 35mm Zeiss Flektogon, but since I was shooting Spring colors I went with the equally nice 50mm Pancolar. I live in a medium to large city and I have no problems getting color film developed. for a reasonable cost. The film prices are going up, but development is steady at 0.95Euro. I also sent a 12 exposue 120 roll, but here they charged be almost 3x the amount 2.55Eur.

I did a screen capture here of the prints. I still need to buy a compatible scanner.

Very nice Chuck. Takes me back to my times spent in Dusseldof & Neuss Norf.

Ohh That'S great!! When were you in this area. I've been here about 25 years now... Yikes Tempuis Fugit. I hail from Westminster MD USA. Came here in the early 90s with the development and construction of the Digital Radio Network.

Often see myself also gravitating towards LF.. but the older I get the less active I am... I couldn't figure out how to PM individually in the new format. I'm available at chuckf@arcor.de

Another just to keep our thread going, but also to see how my older notebook computer (which has a ton of images) will work with its version of IE.

So very cool. Great clever format.

Just some oldies from my Isolette II. Don't remember anything about the film or settings. Probably just eyeballed it like most vacation photos.

A few "hybrid" shots now. Modern Pentax ZX-5 with classic manual 50mm f 2. I may just keep this lens on the ZX-5 as the autofocus on that camera has stopped working on the AF lenses I have. All shots here on Ilford FP4+.

Old silo from side of road on way to work.

 

A little competition

One more from this combination. I do miss having the 50mm f2.8 macro work in AF mode, but the focus assist does give a green light with the old 50mm f 2, though. And I recently picked up a used ZX-7 to use with my AF Pentax lenses.

 

These are from a Kodak No. 2 Folding Cartridge Premo circa 1917. Both Ilford PanF 50 at 1/50 sec aperture setting #2 (approx f16).

I would love to go sailing on that ship.

Great images continue to come. I apologize for the duplicate image, but Firefox was not cooperating and my efforts resulted in same image twice.

@ John- do you live near Olive Branch?

I would love to go sailing on that ship.

You can look it up on the web. The group that maintains it sails it. Don't recall if they do excursions. It's a pretty special ship.
