maiku Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 <p>Hi-ho Everyone,</p> <p>It has been a while since I posted. The reason is I only have one classical manual camera left. My loveable Alpenflex TLR. Alas it will not be useable soon. The aperture lever is so loose I think it will fall out the next time I use it. I have one roll of Ilford HP4 in the refrigerator. Once I load it into the Alpenflex and shot it the Alpenflex will become a shelf queen. Too bad as I like the rustic images the camera produces.</p> <p>Here is the roll of Ilford HP4 I shot earlier this. Enjoy.</p> <p>Mike</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhbebb Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 <p>Nice pix - surely the camera is worth a $100 (or less) trip to the repair workshop?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 <p>Nice to see you back, <strong>Mike</strong>, but sad to see your collection so diminished and the Alpenflex so frail. As David observed, it could be a cheap and simple fix; but then I know only too well how even cheap fixes mount up when one is on a tight budget! Fine images, as usual; the "Roses" image has real charm. Let's hope there's more than <em>one</em> roll left...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_lockerbie Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 <p>Thanks for these Mike, surely can't be your last...there is so much temptation in Japan!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 <p>While the above images do the Alpenflex proud, hopefully you can work out a repair to keep it going. I really like image 1.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_foreman1 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 <p>I'm sure if there'S a will there'S a way. Certainly you will find some solution We all so enjoy your black and white work irrespective of hammer.. There'S another classic waiting for you if not the Alpenflex. .. um for sure there's a Fujiflex.. right .. No mountaain too high?!?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfophotos Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 <p>If your Alpenflex is on its last legs, you'll need to upgrade to the Muesliflex, the Cheerioflex, or the Granolaflex, depending on your shooting style. :D</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
