Looking forward to seeing everyone's images.

A few photos from the US East Coast. Voigtlander Bessa L, Snapshot Skopar 25/4, Orwo Wolfen UN54 film in Adox FX-39 II. UN54 (a East European cine film) is a new film to me, and this first roll seems either over-exposed or over-developed. The other two rolls from the same tank seems ok (Orwo/Wolfen NP100, Ilford Pan F+ 50). Will try Kodak D96 developer as recommended by the manufacturer.

Second Test with the old Mamiyaflex Automat B with Sekor 75/3.5. This is not an easy horse to ride. Unless it is a Sunny 16 day the periphery of the screen is almost black! Kentmere 400 at EI250 in HC110 1 in 60 @ 20C for 9. min. Agit. per  twirl rotation. Lack of sharpness due to my hands & eyes, not the Sekor. All cropped 3:2.

Greetings CMC fans

Did finally develop some film. Weather has been poor. I am also hindered by an orthopedic Boot I am wearing for the next 6 seeks (now 4) . I had a broken right foot for Xma and a broken left foot for Easter. There was no trauma..these turned out to be stress fractures.. I digress. 
I made a separate post for the ongoing saga with the low-contrast, flare from the Yashica Mat. Don't worry I saved some pics for here 😉I forgot to say in the last post that the working light meter gave up on the last exposure on the roll. Not a great meter, but a good selling point. Gggrrr

I acquired a Kodak 35 RF just before Xmas. I believe I posted a few pics from the first roll, which I consequently tore the film mid-roll. I noted that the first (and only) five frames were orderly spaced etc . Meanwhile I was playing with it and the shutter was very intermittent, fired only sporadically.. It took a long time to get behind this, but in Edison fashion (1000,000 attempts) I have figured it out. The release on this camera is awkward and badly placed. As I was fumbling to find this in my first outing, it likely helped. I've determined that once cocked, there is a millimeter of spring return that almost never works completely. The user needs to nudge the release up a bit. It will make a barely audible "tick". Once you start doing this, the shutter fires 100%.

I recently took possession of a Kodak Tourist II, which had some light leaks if we all remember well. Reading around referred me to "plastic Dip" I suppose it is much like "liquid Electric Tape" but this could be thinned with Naphtha. That appealed to me and I bought a small can . I liked how easily it was to work with ..and besides the Tourist II, I had a Zeiss Ikon 520/2 Ikomat (US version of the Ikonta)  I received this as a gift from a CMC contributor: Gabor Szabo. This had quite a few holes, so I tackled these bellows and while I was very pleased with the process, I fear now either new ones opened up,  I did a lousy job, or Plasti-Diüp is not good for bellows patching.  I did get some better images..but not the contrast I wanted for these 6x9 negatives 



The infamous Yashica Mat 124 

 

You've certainly have seen this statue from me before... I need new hunting grounds 😉



This is what I like about Ground Glass focusing




This is in pretty good shaper given its age. shutter assembly is not lagging etc on slow speeds. Quite snappy...when it fires!! 



Close enough to try the RF..seems to work ok.. Interesting half frame image for the finder




The Anastar lens is nice for its age!

 

A building at Belsenplatz



The Three-Slice House . This was a Thyssen/Krupp  building but I think it has changed hands.. flatness issues .. note bottom right




Sure looks like light leaks to me... new ones.. or poorly patched old one?  May be flare... IIRC I was trying to use the structure to my left to shield the directional light

Some more Nikomat shots - my brother and I generally used bulk loaded Plus-X or Tri-X, developed the film in Microdol-X @ 1:3, and printed on Kodak Polycontrast paper using Dektol @1:2. The first one is from the mid 1970s when my brother (driving) and a couple of friends did a Maine to Canada trip in a beat-up IH Scout. No passports were needed back then to go back and forth, but we were given a good looking over at the border coming back into the States!

This one was taken in Maine around the same time using some type of chemical to cause the reticulation effect - 

And a few more taken with a Diana+ around a local farm.

The little Olympus XA2 just sings. Fujicolor C200, Bellini C41 home processed. And pretty proud of my scale focus / hyperfocal skills. :-)

I have to agree that yours sings.  Good work.  Mine seems to just gurgle.  
I have never been satisfied with the image focus of either of my two that I bought new in 1980 and 1988.  How did you master hyperfocal skills when your only tools are:  Mountains, Whole People, and Half People?  The close up zone is very narrow and the other two are about the same.  All three photos are exceptional, especially the first one.

Took this recently at Torrey Pines Reserve in San Diego. I had been itching to breakout my Pentax 67II that had been sitting awhile. Also getting aquainted with Portra 160.
