roseberry guitars Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I went for a long walk with one of my favorite TLR's (and there are many)and thought I'd share a few photos taken along the way. It was one of the first sunny days in a very long time. So out I went with my dogs and camera to catch up on some Pacific Northwest Solar rays. The camera is a Zeiss Ikno Ikoflex IIa (2nd ver.) with a Tessar 75mm lens in a Synchro Compur shutter. I use Ilford Delta 400 film and a Zeiss yellow filter.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark_wilson4 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I agree...one and three are my favourites also. Thoughtful matching of classic camera, square format, and compositional strategy. Thank you for the photographs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_m Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Good photos but they don't look sharp to me; perhaps its the scanning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canfred Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I like the beach wood shot Scot , to me they are sharp enough but I think the focus could have been a little further. Still a good picture. Manfred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roseberry guitars Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 Thanks for the kind words and comments. Like many of us film buffs, I'm sure, I get my film processed and scaned at a local pro shop. I don't have the time to do the developing myself and I have yet to purchase a quality scanner so have to go that route. I almost always ask for the standard resolution scan (much cheaper than the hi-res. they offer)which is 4.5 meg., 300-400dpi. Basically I use the scan to check out the results of my endevors and then get a print of any I like. That being said, I too have been concened by the "focus" issues in many of my photos when I see them on line. I use many different classic cameras and the results are the same. I'm hoping that it is due to the relatively low scan resolution I'm using. I see many well done, crisp focus photos on this forum and wonder what people are doing to get those results. Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronald_moravec1 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Scans need to be sharpened. One never knows what happens when others do your processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stwrtertbsratbs5 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Have you had any prints made from Ikoflex negs? Were you happy with sharpness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lata Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Ikoflex is a nice camera and the Novar is a good lens, quite up to Zeiss Tessar quality and the bokeh is nice with that round aperture, here are two vintage Ikoflex shots http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=591554 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
