rick_drawbridge Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I took a walk in the park with the Kodak Signet I pictured over in the "What camera.." thread. The film was Arista EDU Ultra 100, developed in PMK Pyro.The little Ektar lens performed up to expectations.

Rick_van_Nooij Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Opening of the World War 2 exhibition at the 'Oude Slot' Graflex Anniversary Speed Graphic 4x5 with Graphic 23 adapter. 127mm f/4.7 Ektar. Fomapan 100 Looks like the focus issues have been solved after the last round of calibrating. I don't like taking a mallet to any of my cameras, but in this case it was necessary to fix the dropbed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_foreman1 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 It's just been mostly rainy and overcast I shot this roll with the Contaflex Super B two weeks ago but I just got around to develop it. With the help of Brett Rogers I was able to get this camera working again. I was frustrated with the intermittent meter and thought while it was working.. I would set it on a window sill with plenty of light in the hopes of getting it consistent. Long story short.. IT didn't help. As with many "jobs" I do I end up with more problems than I started with. Well anyway when the meter works it's good. I like the Tessar's rendering.... especially nice in color. I came into a Kodak Pony 135 a year or more ago. It had the aperture sluggish and I cleaned it up but I suspected it was too slow and debated opening up again to try and bend the shutter spring for more uummphh.. But since I had never shot anything with it, I gave it a try ...and well surprise.. the whole roll was over exposed. Go figure. I'll note which is which but the obvious lens quality and the poor exposures will be well...obvious.

Mike Gammill Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 Digging through older scans and found a few to keep things going. I shot a lot of 126 Verichrome Pan in my Instamatic 124 before I got my first 35mm. My sister and a friend. Car on left is a 1969 Impala 4 door hardtop. It is the very car I took my driving test in. Younger brother about 1969, Kodachrome-X accident, around 1972 Dauphin Island about 1972, Ektachrome-X, cropped A lot of success with the Instamatic was dumb luck as it was fixed focus, single aperture (f 11) and two shutter speeds (1/90 and 1/40) For a while Tri-X was available in 126 so I even tried it. I'll have to look for those negatives and scan. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 A nice touch of nostalgia, Mike. I used the "amateur" Verichrome Pan in the 120 roll for commercial work right up until it was discontinued in 1995, much preferring it to Plus-X. That and Ilford FP3, developed in Microphen, were my standard emulsions in the 1980's. Another fine film we've lost... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 Thanks, Rick. I also used a lot of Verichrome Pan in 120. I'm down to my last four rolls which are in cold storage, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles_stobbs3 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I got into photography with Verichrome Ortho, maybe ASA 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royfisher Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Riffing a little on the oldies theme, here's an abstract Instamatic shot from 1972, taken on some type of Kodak color negative film. One thing that strikes me is how little geometric distortion that Instamatic lens had, although it doesn't look as sharp the one on Mike's. (The blob at the upper left is where the emulsion had become stuck to another strip of film and peeled off when I separated them.) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_shriver Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Lens design has this feature as you correct one level of error, another (higher order) one pops up. Since they didn't even try and make the Instamatic lens very sharp, distortion didn't become a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
