Classic Manual Cameras Weekend July 24

[Mike Gammill]

<p>In some time zones it is already Friday, July 24 so let's kick off this weekend's Classic Manual Cameras thread. I'll start with a recent shot (in black & white) and two color shots from my archives.<br>

Same rules as before and if you have a "fourth" image that you like please consider posting it in the 365 day thread.</p><div></div>

<p>Next shot was made from balcony at my church. I've always liked the late afternoon sunlight filtering in through the stained glass windows. Very peaceful. </p><div></div>

<p>Last one. More extreme tele: 300 mm. This was early Christmas morning a few years ago. The 300 mm f5.6 Minolta MD Rokkor was a Christmas present.</p><div></div>

<p>Nice image from the church, <strong>Mike</strong>, very serene. Here are three frames from an early morning wander with a Rolleiflex Automat K4A, 75mm Tessar f/3.5, Kodak Tri-X 400, PMK Pyro.</p><div></div>

<p>Welcome to the Classic Manual Cameras forum and our weekend thread, Raghavendra. Great photos. Nice to see some Fujica 35EE images. Those fixed lens Fujica rangefinders are great little cameras that deliver top quality images. Don't forget to visit our 365 day thread as well. Thanks for sharing.</p>

[Bill Bowes]

<p>Hello everyone. I am a bit pressed for time these days, hence not much new material...., so, here is one from way in the past... 2002 to be exact. YashicaMat EM, FP4, PMK-Pyro, Weston II meter. Enjoy, Bill</p><div></div>

<p>Raghavendra, I especially like the Lady Tailor and Dung Cakes. Very good results.</p>

<p>Nothing from this week, so I have to dig into the archive. This one is done with a Bronica S2A coupled with an old Darlot Petzval 6" brass lens, Fujifilm NPZ800.<br>

<p>Hello again. More than ever I am amazed at what can be done with my CMC folder cameras from the early 1950's era. When used with a rock-solid tripod (Husky V here) and the built-in 10 sec self timers, the lenses are deadly sharp. This shot I used the max stop down (about f45) of the Apotar 80mm on the Agfa Isolette III, with a 1 sec exposure held solid by the tripod. 100Tmax, Pilot, 510-Pyro and V600 scan. Enjoy, Bill</p><div></div>

[Bill Bowes]

<p>Here is the CMC used. Agfa Isolette III with 80mm Apotar. The camera needed a new bellows, so during the CLA I had the "Ferrari Red" one installed!.... red certainly gets some attention when I have the rig set up. Enjoy, Bill</p><div></div>

<p>At last I have put a film through a camera that is classic - a Minolta XE-1. Too often I am using film cameras from the AF era, and I guess these don't qualify here. Perhaps there should be a Film Friday option in the modern cameras forum ...</p>

<p>These are taken with a Rokkor MD 50mm f/1.4, and the film used was outdated Kodak Color Plus 200.</p>

Might be a good idea, Howard. The Modern Film Camera Forum needs a boost in activity.

<p>Great round of weekend images, everyone. Thanks to our regular contributors as well as those who are new to the thread. I'm currently finishing up one of my last rolls of 35mm Fuji Reala so after sending off to Dwaynes for developing and scanning I hope to have some new color to post soon. Everyone have a great week.</p>
