rick_drawbridge Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Astonishingly excellent results from the Meteor, Gary, and fine quality processing and editing. A joy to behold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce_z._li2 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 @gary green You have consistently made wonderful images from those humble box cameras, pseudo TLRs, and simple folders with meniscus or triplet lenses. And by reading from you, Rick and other Photo.net fellows here, I started to appreciate more of these simple cameras and find joy making images from them. The Agfa Isola was a fun over-achiever, and now onto Argus 40 and Argus Super 75 (seems to have film flatness issues). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary green Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Thanks Rick & Bruce! Using the Meteor is a labor of love. The ergonomics are truly awful and I can understand why this camera probably didn't sell well. However, the images seem to have a certain pleasing character to them that I think is due to the combination of a coated, glass meniscus lens, focus control and variable aperture which is unusual in this class of camera.
