john_robison3 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 <p>Not bad for a half frame but beware, the format is addictive and has been a favorite of mine since I bought my first Oly Pen in 1972. I haven't since then been without one. The lens on your little gen looks like it can stand a good size print. What film were you using?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 <p>Cool, indeed, far better than any results I've achieved with my copy. Good eye, <strong>Master</strong>; I really like "Louvre".</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 <p>If you will make your images a maximum of 700 pixels instead of 900 pixels and put a title on them, we will be able to see them without having to click on the link. It's far more likely to find an audience that way.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subbarayan_prasanna Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 <p>I believe that the lens is Industar 69. I have been looking for one to adapt and use it on full frame as a 35mm wide angle. They have become expensive now, since the digital crowd has discovered this lens! I like the pictures and the cubism of the Louvre. Thanks for the post. Here is a 700 sample. sp</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustys pics Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 <p>Cool Vibe! Reminds me of LIFE magazine photos from the early to mid 1960s. I've always liked the 35mm half frame format. Vertical shots feel like a doorway and seem to fit the paper and frame sizes better. Now with the resolution of modern films we can see how good those lenses really were.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotografya Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 <p>I used expired film; Agfa Retro 100 ISO (comes as twins in black plastic case); I'll post the picture of the camera soon.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karim Ghantous Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 <p>There is certainly something nice about these images - perhaps because with the smaller frame size, the grain appears more prominent. It's quite attractive. And there's certainly a lot of detail evident, even at small resolutions. I put one of these images through Noise Ninja but it wasn't worth it. It looked better as-is. Besides, you need big files for NR to work properly, and even then it can make the image look dreadful.</p> <p>Here's another Russian half-frame camera, the rather nice looking Agat:</p> <p>http://www.spaceborn.dk/archive.asp?id=262</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_van_Nooij Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 <p>Nice shots with the Chaika. Some great subjects too. The results with the I-69 definitely looks better than other results I have seen with this lens (might be because people try to use it on their regular LTM lenses without the proper infinity focus adjustment).<br> I use a hacked one on my R-D1, but the digital sensor makes the characteristics quite different to using it in its original guise. <br> I must admit the lure of the half frame cameras is strong with me now. ;)</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_foreman1 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Impressed with the lens preformance .. I relaly liked the first one! I wonder though how long it would take me to do 72 photos. Quite a difference from say 8 x 6x9! I must admit my ignorance I wasn't aware of these half-frame Soviet cameras; but why not. The Soviets certainly believe in bang for your buck!
