Classic Manual Camera Weekend, July 8

[Mike Gammill]

<p>I might be a little early, but better than being late, I suppose. So let's get our Classic Manual Camera Weekend going for July 8. Three shots from my Olympus OM-1 with 35mm f2.8 Zuiko. Film was Ilford FP4+.</p><div></div>

<p>When the paint and body shop was open, I had my old 1986 Chevy Celebrity repainted. Couldn't do anything about all the "horses" that escaped from it over the years, though. Original owner kept a pair of early 1960's Thunderbirds on display too. Now it's sort of a museum.<br>

Next image. The old white fence has all but disappeared from houses, but here's one I spotted the morning of July 4 during an early morning bicycle ride.</p><div></div>

<p>One more from the OM-1. The OM-1 with the 35mm f2.8 attached is great for cycling. For protection I keep it in an everready case that was old stock from the family camera shop. <br>

Again, if you have an extra image left over, consider posting to the 365 day thread. </p><div></div>

<p>Hello everyone. Here are three from last weekend's holiday romp at the Western Classic - SOVREN car races at Pacific Raceway, Kent Wa. All with the K1000, 135 or 200 mm lenses. UFX400 @ 200, OA development & V800 scans. Enjoy, Bill</p><div></div>

<p>Ever seen one of the "Italian Job" movies? This 1962 racing version of the "original" Mini Cooper would trash even the newest "Mini"... 2.1 liter, OHC Vauxall engine...it's indecently fast! & Very Loud !</p><div></div>

<p>I enjoyed Bill's company and advice at the SOVREN event. I used TMax and TRI-X, which I finally learned how to scan properly by trial and error, fiddling with each major lever in VueScan until shots were largely coming out the way I prefer. Photography is art, and so my vision of enjoyable output will be different; it's like this!</p>

<p>A dull, wet week with few opportunities for photography. Still, in a break in the weather I managed to run a film through a newly-CLA's Bronica ETRs, using a 150mm Zenzanon MC f/3.5 lens. Film was Arista 100 devloped in PMK Pyro, scanned on the Epson V700 using Silverfast software.</p><div></div>

<p>Pray tell us...how does one get a Texas license plate Down Under??</p>

[rick_drawbridge]

<p>The little bird told me he'd brought it over, <strong>Bill</strong>. He was a Lesser Texas Sparrow with a wingspan of about twelve feet...</p>

<p>Lots of vintage/classic vehicles in the CMC Weekend topic...<br /><br />2 weeks ago I was out and about with a Contax II with 50mm f/2 Sonnar at the British Sports Car Meet</p>

<p>Rick: Love #2! </p>

[JDMvW]

<p>Pushing the envelope again! (Cain't hardly he'p mahse'f). I argue that this camera is a classic by any definition.</p>

<p>Kodak DCS 560 = $28,000+ camera in 1998.</p>

[rick_drawbridge]

<p>Thanks, <strong>Brad</strong>! It's not the sort of thing you see every day... Pleased to hear you're happier with your scanning; the images look great.</p>

[Bill Bowes]

<p>Hello again. I goofed. The #49 Cooper is the T-59 Formula Junior from 1959-60, not the T-62 version. Here is the T-62 at speed. Bill</p><div></div>

[Tony Evans]

<p>Nice images, Bill, Brad, Rick D & Rick V.N. How come you all seem to have your cameras set on "Auto"?<br>

Here's three more from the Fed 5B/Jupiter 35/2.8. PanF+, Rodinal/DDX, BSH/V700.<br>

Two from the Brentwood Bay Lodge Marina.</p>

<p>Inspired by Rick's and Chucks contributions last week I grabbed two of my Werra-cameras and shot a few frames.</p>

<p><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7211/28181633725_fdc4f52682_z.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="432" /><br>

Werra 2, Tessar 50/2.8, expired Delta 100 in Xtol 1+1<br>

The shutter was off at the shortest time (1/250sec), resulting in over-exposure.</p>

Werra 5, Tessar 50/2.8, a shot from a roll of APX 100 that was still in the camera, probably exposed about 5 or 6 years ago</p>

another old shot with the Werra 5, developed today in Xtol 1+1<br>

The "real" Agfa APX 100 has an amazing latent-image stability. </p>

[Brad Cloven]

<p>Georg: I love #1 and #2. I think lots of shots in "High Key" and "Low Key" are very nice. Strandbar becomes art in the way things at the beach get washed out white by the sun. And blacktop (macadam) should be BLACK. Love it.</p>
