  1. <p>Got out the Bessa I to further explore Our Lady of the Ascension in Central Saanich. Has the humble Vaskar 105/4.5. On PanF+ in Rod/DDX Semi-stand. Scans on BSH/V700. Couple with a Zeiss Ikon Red Filter (8X). All taken Tripod/Cable Release.<br> First, the Church.</p><div></div>
  2. <p>Rick,<br> A great acquisition and beautiful work with it. Of my three MF cameras (ETRSi, Mamiya 67 Pro-S, and Pentacon 6) I rate the P6 with its three CZ lenses (all as posted above by JDM) as giving the best resolution. To avoid spacing problems, I strictly follow the standard advice: Remove any slack from film when loading and Wind On very very slowly both forward and back. I get my 10 shots. Here's with the Biometar 80/2.8.</p><div></div>
  3. <p>All taken with RTSII, (manual) CZ (Japan) Planar 50/1.7 on FP4 in Rodinal (1+25), scans per Plustek 8100.</p><div></div>
  4. <p>Kent, love it! Tony, yes you do have that scanner working and how! Rick, appreciate the balance.<br> Three from around the Bay.<br> From the Marina.</p><div></div>
  5. <p>Dave,<br> Took your advise and cut a toothpick "screw driver" which worked well. Meter now behaving as it should. Actually, I seldom use camera meters, ancient or modern, but prefer my Soligar Digital Spot or Combi II Incident. However it is still nice to know the EM is back in working condition. Thanks again. T.</p>
  6. <p>Dave,<br> Thank you for that. Will give it a try. Very grateful. T.</p>
  7. <p>Dave,<br> Can you give a bit more detail (for the non-mechanical) on adjusting the meter. My EM is grossly over-estimating. The needle is all the way to the right (maximum) at about EV 12 or 13. Stephen, thank you for a great post. T.</p>
  8. <p>and from the Brentwood Bay-Mill Bay Ferry Wharf,</p><div></div>
  9. <p>Nice images, Bill, Brad, Rick D & Rick V.N. How come you all seem to have your cameras set on "Auto"?<br> Here's three more from the Fed 5B/Jupiter 35/2.8. PanF+, Rodinal/DDX, BSH/V700.<br> Two from the Brentwood Bay Lodge Marina.</p> <div></div>
  10. <p>Rick, Donald, once again, thanks a million. T.</p>
  11. <p>Donald,<br> The eyepiece rotates to change diopter focus which is great for my old peepers but it does not change vertical alignment. This is not a killer because I can still focus laterally with the two images above each other, but would be nice to fix.</p>
  12. <p>JDM, thank you, so good to have you back. Mike, S.P., your comments are greatly appreciated. S.P. thanks for the maintenance info. Glen, good luck with the Zorki 5 and Canon glass. T.</p>
  13. <p>Donald,<br> Yes, but first you must get the nameplate off. The Fed 5 Nameplate slides to the left and lifts with a clip under it. This one does not appear to move on my Fed 5B. Once off, I can adjust the vertical alignment. Can you clarify. Many thanks, Tony.</p>
  14. <p>Finally. Hope you find something of interest.</p><div></div>
  15. <p>The Church itself, St. Stephens Anglican, built 1862.</p><div></div>
  16. <p>Some of the Graveyard.</p><div></div>
  17. <p>Entry to Churchyard.</p><div></div>
  18. <p>For the Jupiter-12 35mm f2.8 I loaded Panf+ and visited a new (to me) Church site hidden away in a secluded Central Saanich valley. Developed in Rodinal/DDX (1+5+200) 1 hour semi-stand. It was very bright summers day (EV 16) with PanF+ film, and even the stand development was not able to fully tame the contrast.<br> I had some difficulty with the 35 mm Viewfinder which did not have parallax lines and some cropping was needed to center the images.<br> First the Church Hall.</p> <div></div>
  19. <p>Third, converted to B&W FP4 profile in Power Retouche. Of course, should have been shot in B&W in the first place.</p><div></div>
  20. <p>Second with the Industar-61.</p><div></div>
