Film Camera Week for December 2


Recommended Posts

Greetings, all, and welcome to our new thread.  Post all the images you like from any film camera.  I'll start with a few from my Olympus XA-2.  Film was Kentmere 100 processed in HC 110 dilution H.

Much better image quality than I would have expected. How many elements in the lens?

@James Bryant According to information I've found on the web, it's an achromat (single cemented pair) lens.  I also have the Zeiss 54/2 6x9 model but the image quality from the earlier Goerz version is much better.

Because the negatives are so big, a lot of detail gets lost when the image is downsized for uploading to PN.  Here's a crop from the full-size scan to show how the lens performs.  Also, this is a handheld shot at 1/50 shutter speed.

Went to a tiny fairy garden with family during the weekend. One roll of Arista EDU Ultra 100 in Rolleiflex 3.5F with Planar 75/3.5 lens. Souped in Ilford DD-X 1+4 (plus 2.5ML of Rodinal) for 8min at 68F. Encouraged by fellow Photo.netters here, I also gravitated towards Arista EDU Ultra 100 as my everyday go to film. It is cheap to buy, easy to process with developers, and producing old school excellent results. I just got a bottle of Arista Premium B&W developer (rebadged Clayton F76+), and will try it out with the Arista.

@gary green Hi Gary, I was also quite amazed at the quality produced by the Box-Tengor! When you said that was one of your favorite cameras in the other thread, I thought it was in a "Lomography" sense. But apparently this is no LoFi. :classic_biggrin:

Thanks Bruce!  One thing I like about shooting with this camera is that it easily exceeds the low expectations people have with box cameras in general.   I also appreciate only having to think about one setting (the aperture) when using it handheld.

@rick_drawbridge  Nice shots from the T90, Rick.  My first SLR was a T50 that my wife bought me for Xmas back in the mid-80s.  Being a tinkerer at heart, I quickly grew tired of the lack of manual controls (other than focusing) and lusted for the T90.  However, having just started my career, and with two kids, a mortgage, and car payments, I couldn't justify the cost.  I eventually traded the T50 for a nice AL-1 that let me have more control.

Your T90 appears to be chugging along nicely.  Maybe I should have taken the plunge back then ...

Hope Santa brings you the Jaguar.

Some of the very first pictures out of my Zorki 4 fitted with a Jupiter 8 lens.

Film was Ilford Delta 400 processed and scanned by the local Photo Lab.

No exposure details as I lost my notes 🥺.

Can anyone see any possible Camera faults that will still have to be fixed ?.

Thanks.
