Film Camera Week for November 2

Ektar with my Mamiya. The playground is the Dennis the Menace playground in Monterey Ca. The child is my Grandson. The Barn is at Pinnacles National Park. They have a barbecue each year for the volunteers so I stopped at the barn first for a couple photos. They gave me a bronze medal for volunteering more then 100 hrs on the Search and Rescue team out there.

I took a walk this morning with a Bronica ETRs with the standard 75mm Zenzanon MC f/2.8 lens, one I don't seem to use very often. It's certainly a very high quality lens, and the results pleased me. Film was Ilford HP5 Plus, developed in PMK Pyro.

Which Mamiya? The barn stands out.

I purchased this combination a few years back and there seemed to be some issue with partial exposure.. not so sure if a loose front element was the culprit. The kit is a Kiev 5 with the Helios. You may all know that the Kiev 5 was a vain glorious attempt to "improve or update" the Contax II design they overtook after the WWII. It was only in production for about five years in the late 60s until they tossed in the towel. This roll was more consistent than the previous, but I only secured the front element after I shot the roll. Excuse please the lack of new material... but it's color for a change and it exhibits some of the seasonal changes too.

Nice work from that Kiev 5, Chuck ! It's not a well-known camera in my part of the world. Here's just a snapshot I took at our local Vintage Aircraft day last weekend, of one of our local topdressing pilots and his son. I wish my father had been that interesting! No claims as to art or quality but the pic just appealed to me.

Memorial for the men of the Black Watch who were killed on the 4th of November 1944 trying to take a bridge across the "Drongelens" Canal near the towns of Cromvoirt and Helvoirt. They were buried in this spot for a while before the bodies were moved to a War Cemetery elsewhere.

Thank you,

This little memorial, together with the one for a corporal of the 2nd Derbyshire Yeomanry nearby, is a small bit of hidden history in my area.

I'll share some more photos from the small ceremony we held there last Sunday in the next film camera week topic.

Leica IIIc, with a Summitar and Fomapan 100 I think.

Which Mamiya? The barn stands out.

I have the Mamiya 645e with the regular 80mm f2.8 Sekor lens. Thank you for looking. The barn is at Pinnacles National Park and a Blacksmith and family lived and worked there many years ago.. It would have been a hard life living out there with just a dirt road and a wagon. Ektar is a very sharp and saturated film. It's fun.
