Recommended Posts

Greetings all and welcome to our new thread. Post all the images you like from any film camera. I'll start with some images from the Konica C 35-V. Film was Tri-X.

Some recent adventures with a newly restored Contax III. I sent it to Ukraine to have it done. Initially, after getting it back and shooting the first roll, I discovered that there was a problem with the shutter and about 40% of the shots had a dark band at the top. You can see this below in the b&w landscape and if you look carefully, at the top of the clothesline photo. The technician sent me a video of how to tighten the shutter and a second Flickr friend helped me make the adjustment via Skype. The shutter now works perfectly at all speeds from 1/1250 down to 1/25, as slow as I tested. The colour shots were made after the adjustment.

 

The light meter also works quite well and I used it on all the shots. I discovered though, after using it on the b&w roll, that it overexposes by I stop. Not bad for an 80-year old sensor. I corrected for this on the second Kodak ColorPlus 200 roll, by exposing at ISO 400 (27 din). All b&w shots with a c. zeiss jena sonnar 5cm 1:2 collapsible. The colour shots with a Jupiter 12 except for the palm, which was taken again with the Sonnar.

Two from the Exakta RTL 1000, featured in the "What Camera(s)..." thread last month. Meyer Oreston 50/1.8, ColorPlus 200 film.

 

The camera's TTL metering prism is a bit complicated to operate. It still reads accurately in both full-aperture and stopped-down modes, though, and has a bridge circuit, so a regular alkaline battery can be used.

The cigarette is crucial for balance.

This seemed to be more of a social than actual riding at least while I was there.
