Film Camera Week for February 1

Delta 3200 @ ISO6400, HC110 dil. A

Canonet QL17

A small correction, my first shot is with the 75mm f/2.8 Nikkor-P (not H).

And a fine shot it is.. nice and crisp!!

Thanks Chuck! Those old Nikkors for the focal plane shutter Bronicas, with few exceptions, are phenomenal and highly underrated.

Those are lovely images from the Bronica, Alan, and when it comes to the lenses, I couldn't agree more. For some reason they seem to get very indifferent reviews, but I think they're mainly superb. I was going through some old Bronica files the other night and was looking at some images from the rather overlooked 200mm Nikkor-P f/4 that I don't think I've posted here, so I'll make amends. My apologies if they are repeats.

I'll note the film used with each photograph; all were developed in PMK Pyro and scanned on an Epson V700 using Silverfast SE software. The camera was a Bronica S2a.

Photos from Rio de Janeiro city and state with a Contax IIA, Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 50mm f/2 collapsible and Kodak ProImage 100 and Tri-X 400 film. The lines on the black and white seem to be due to the scanner and are not on the negative. For some reason the colour photos, scanned on the same machine, don't seem to show these marks:

Thank you Rick, and a "nicely done" with yours also. And they're further proof of the Bronica-Nikkor lenses' capabilities; I have a 200/4 Nikkor on my 'Bay watchlist. ;)

Snapshot from last saturday at the commemoration at the monument for the "Battle of Kapelsche Veer"

The Polish, British and Canadian troops assaulted the German bridgehead at the ferry slip a total of 4 times in the winter of 1944-45.

The Germans eventually abandoned the bridgehead after a month and retreated back across the Maas river.

The end result: some 1200 allied and axis casualties.
