bernard_lazareff Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Your landscapes look nicely sharp as far as one can tell on screen. And I like the tonality of rocks, bushes, sky. What film and developer? Did you pull (overxpose/underdevelop) the film to achieve that result? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick j dempsey Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Even better is a $2 camera that works... even better than that is a $2 camera that takes sharp images. The Radionar is a triplet, I've got the same lens on a different camera and I enjoy it. With slow film you can shoot wide-open which reveals some softness and distortions in the corners... I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff. ;) I love those shots of the rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_marks6 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I have a nice Adox Golf folding camera. Golf is a sport. So is Polo. I wonder if there is a connection with sport names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanm Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 The film wasn't pulled or pushed. I think the film was ERA 100, Chinese film my brother sent me from Taiwan. The developer was HC-110 dilution B. Awesome shots, Gene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanm Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Apparently it has a "rare earth lens." I used to know what that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
