My Voigtlander Superb TLR just came back from a CLA by Dan Daniel, and I went out to try it out. This one has the regular 75/3.5 Skopar lens, added orange filter and hood. Arista EDU 400 film, developed in FX-39 II. Clouds over the library Ciao Italia bunny

Thank you Chuck. By doing projects, I can divert my mind from acquiring more cameras. 😂

Hi Niels @Niels - NHSN, nice and cute Konica Eye there. I really adore those half frame cameras, but find it tedious to finish 72 frames. :-)

@mjferron Really like this series: very clean lines and interesting patterns. I particularly like the first photo with fan, where there is depth and movement. And the Konica II seems to have a good quality lens.

A few photos in my "Looking up in awe" project series. Using Lomo LC-A 120 camera, Arista EDU 400 film, and processed in Adox FX-39 II (1+19 as RickD suggested). First time using this combo: the negative does look a bit thin, so need more experiments in scanning and post processing. Giant oak tree Rising pagota Maple tree

Hi RickD, hope you have a good trip to the wilderness. Look forward to your photos.

Hi Rick @Rick_van_Nooij, I really like the first photo of three officers: it felt realistically historical. I guess the subject matter, your choice of the format (4x5) and the equipment (Combat Graphics, 127mm Ektar lens) all comes together to produce a retro feeling image. Well done!

I went to Kohl Mansion to test out the brand new Lomo LC-A 120 camera. Film was Ilford FP4+, developed in F76+ 1+9. It is the last bottom bit of F76+ which has turned yellow. Seems almost time to start Adox FX-39 II following Rick Drawbridge's instructions. Winding stairs to the mansion West Wing The maze in the garden

Hope it works! Such a nice piece of historical equipment. Always wanted to try the Ektar 80/2.8 lens from that system.

I have been aggressively reducing my small camera collection and abstaining from getting new cameras. But I cannot resist the Lomo LC-A 120 30 year anniversary edition, since I was quite bitten by the smaller brother LC-A 35mm camera. Hope to get some photos to share in the coming weeks. And maybe it will be the prelude to a proper Hasselblad SWC...

As I continue to explore the wonderful world of compact 35mm cameras, here are a few with Olympus XA2 with Zuiko 35/3.5 lens. Film was long expired Elitechrome 100 cross-processed in C41. The setting was Hakone Japanese Gardens. Maples getting red in summer already? Colorful bamboos A quieter pergola

Hi Niels, you have a very handsome Leica thread mount outfit there! I really appreciate their fine quality and compact size, but I got lazy and moved onto M3. Also your Nikon F2 was a beauty. It will pair very well with a 50/1.2 or 35/1.4.

Recently I have been playing with several little guys to find out which one I like most. They are all zone-focus, semi or fully automatic exposure, tiny 35mm cameras that are truly pocketable. And they can produce some seriously good quality photos! 1) Lomo LC-A: lots of charm and character in lens, no moving parts, fully automatic 2) Minox 35 GX (not pictured): high quality engineering, good lens, aperture priority 3) Chinon Bellami (not pictured): good lens, more solidly built, better film advance lever, fully automatic 4) Olympus XA-2: good lens, no moving parts, fully automatic, shutter button lack tacit feedback 5) Ricoh FF-1: my sample has troublesome shutter, to be continued 6) Minox 35 GL: problem with shutter and film advance I do have a Rollei 35 TE with the Tessar lens, but ergonomically it never really gels with me.

Hakone Gardens in Saratoga California was once used as the filming location for "Memoirs of a Geisha" movie. A few 6x12 panorama from my Frakenholga 120 Pan adapted with Schneider Angulon 90/6.8 lens. Kodak Tri-X 400 film developed in F76+ 1+9. The welcome gate Bridge over the koi pond Bamboos and Kiosk

Hi Rick, that lens really sings in your able hands. The images do have that very pleasing "pop"!

Thank you @Mike Gammill, I am 30 years late to the Lomo party but better late than never. Also because all my remaining slide film stocks are quite expired, so might well have the wild colors. They are no longer accurate anyways.

A few photos from Morro Bay Maritime Museum, using Kodak Vision 3 500T cine film. Camera was Lomo LC-A, film was home developed. The submersible was what navy used to rescue people from submarines in trouble. But I guess the recent tragic Titan submersible was too deep for this type of rescue vessels.

Never mind, it works now.

Bit strange, it did not work for me. Like the last post with the flickr link. @Niels - NHSN may I ask which browser (Safari, Edge, Chrome) are you using? And on which computer OS (Windows, Mac)?

Thank you both. Maybe I was using the BBC code instead of just the link. Will try it later.
