jmohan: another folder! I love the Vitessa! That Ultron is tack-sharp! Donald: thanks! That looks much better. François: wrote I like the colors. It looks very painterly.

<p>And here is a shot of the ocean from our cruise. All shots on Acros 100 developed in Rodinal. <br> Film scanned on an epson 700.. too cold to print right now.</p> <div></div>

<p>This is a closeup of one side.. I got something on the neg I cannot get off. Sorry. </p><div></div>

<p>OK here are my submissions.. This is from a Super Ikonta III with a Tessar 75mm f3.5.<br> I think i need to do some more work on the camera and run another roll through to really get the feel for it.</p> <p> </p><div></div>

<p>Mike: Nice results from that little camera. That first one really pops!</p> <p>Bill: Wish I was in Oahu right now. It's cold! I like the framing on that first shot from the Record.. do you have any problems with that camera?</p> <p>Greg: WOW thats an awesome bridge. Where is it?</p>

<p>no</p>

<p>Ah if i only had "sharp" negs to work with.... All my negs are mush.</p>

<p>After having disappointing results scanning 120 film on my epson, a friend lent me his betterlight scanning tray. I havent even adjusted it yet but I am already seeing an improvement.</p> <p>This is my daughter at Sutters Fort, Sacramento. Notice she has a Yashica 124G.. Gotta train them right!</p> <p>This was taken with my Balda Super Baldax. i'm quite impressed by that little camera.</p><div></div>

<p>Kent: Boy the optics on that #H can be bitingly sharp!</p>

<p>I keep hoping my folders will start multiplying on their own. </p> <div></div>

<p>I think you need to branch out now.. a nice Agfa isolette or Voigtlander Perkeo would fit the bill.</p>

<p>These were all taken with my Fuji X-E1. Most with the 14mm f2.8. A lens that wide tends to be hit-or-miss.</p>

<p>Hi eveyone!<br> I went up the hill to try to find some fall color. This is what I found.</p> <p>I have a full story here: <a href="http://galadur.com/fall-color-2015-surprise">http://galadur.com/fall-color-2015-surprise</a><br> Thanks for looking!</p> <div></div>

Was hoping to contribute. Souped up a roll last night. Blank. What a disappointment.

Thanks for posting Rick! For a few shots from a short walkabout, those are great shots. I would swear they were taken with a medium format camera. You have done those cameras justice. Yeah, it has been a bit slow. I suppose I should get off my lazy but and develop some film. I have a backlog of cameras to try. Thanks for the inspiration.

<p>i have to agree.. Trees are very difficult to get right. <br> Its hard to show their size.. how do you show that they are 100 ft tall vs 10?<br> How do you show that THIS tree is special, and different than the one in your yard?<br> -And how do you do that without cluttering the scene with people or houses?</p><div></div>

<p>And this one.. maybe with the 28mm tak.. or maybe with a 50mm</p><div></div>

<p>These were all taken with a Spotmatic F. Pretty sure this was the 28mm tak as well.</p><div></div>

<p>Mike: I like the restaurant pic! <br> Since you mentioned the 28mm tak, I thought I would post a few from mine.</p> <div></div>

<p>FYI. check out the thread here:<br> http://www.apug.org/forums/forum147/117150-converting-116-616-kodak-camera-use-120-film.html</p> <p>with further links to details about conversions.<br> The adapters from holgamods look like a great deal. Yes you can make them cheaper, but the time you put into it will not match the cheap price. -Using the adapters appears to be better than using a 616 take-up spool. <br> Let me know if you finish your project.</p>

I really like reading the qa part.. "Aero ektars are not good for portraits". -lol.

Isn't the film gate on 616 cameras a bit wider than 120 film? What are you going to do about that? I was looking at using one of my 616 cameras myself.

<p>Wow, very interesting to see all the flavors of the cameras of the time. <br> Also interesting to compare what is listed in 1955 to what happened only a few years later..</p>

<p>Lovely camera Tony! <br> The contrast on the images is a bit too high.. I hope that is just the digital conversion.<br> Some people warn of film flatness on the folders, others say it is a myth. I have not been able to confirm or deny it. I do know that an Agfa Isolette that I have opens very quickly, enough that I worry about it sucking film and loosening it.<br> The Franka is on my 'would like to have' list.. but right now i have too many folders to test out. <br> You do that camera a great justice. You images are excellent. Thank you for sharing! <br> I especially like the photos of jess, and the shell shot. You love to see that printed.</p>

<p>As usual Rick, you scored a real gem. All those bits and doodads that go with the cameras are becoming very scarce themselves. </p>
