Recent one of our back yard , Kowa Six TL , HP5+ in HC-110 , with the 150mm lens . Not hard to understand why the tree is called a Contorta :) . Peter

Bronica S2/S2A maintenance tinkering ?
peter_fowler replied to antoniobravo's topic in Medium Format
Quality control as only the former USSR can deliver , I got rid of my Flektogon ( it was really awful ) and replaced it with (guess what ? ) the 45mm MIR and couldn't be happier , go figure :) . Peter -
Bronica S2/S2A maintenance tinkering ?
peter_fowler replied to antoniobravo's topic in Medium Format
You're going to love this , just today I dropped in at Beau Photo in Vancouver and saw 2 Kowa Six 2's and a Kowa Six , all in good working order :) . Pity I didn't see these 1/2 year ago . Peter -
Good choice I'd say , having used one almost non stop for over half a decade . Before spending any further money , might I suggest a thin plate of glass over the negatives and then scan . Sometimes with slide film you may get Newtonian rings and sometimes not . It works surprisingly well for me . Peter

Possibly it time to get another back and return to the original when there's something more photo worthy with the unfinished film :) . Peter

^ Well , that's one delightful picture :) ! Peter

^ One of the reasons it was so popular with astro-photographers decades ago :) . Peter

"Ricochetrider" , You get way too many pictures of my misspent youth :D:D , Iron head Sportsters , etc ! Peter

Must say though Joe , a year or so ago I got the ingredients , real ascorbic acid , digital scale etc. and got good results right off the get go .Must be my age , but I don't find the aroma offensive :) . But it's sure a lot quicker to use HC-110. To each his own , Regards, Peter

Expired Fuji slide

A much better idea however would be to mail it to me :) . Peter -
Overlapping negatives
peter_fowler replied to yjli's topic in The Wet Darkroom: Film, Paper & Chemistry
And then there's some of us (me) , that carefully ( I thought ) backed up all his negative scans and stored them on a thumb drive ! Drum roll ,hard drive failed and yeah all 1400 of them were there , but only identified with a jpg # , crap , who was to know what else you were to do ? Every picture was identified with camera type and date . Ain't technology great ? Peter -
Now I'm going to have to go back through some pics and see if I can find some from my Welta Weltur . They're sure a lot easier to cart around than the other medium format cameras I slug to foreign countries ( telling myself I just know I'm going to need a selection of lens , practically never :( ) . Peter

It never fails to amaze me the quality ( and detail ) these older medium format cameras can record ! Peter

^ A little lock down picture taking with the Kowa Super Sixty Six and HP5+ . And some Pampas grass from my wife's garden :) . Peter

That, and the price ( in Canada ) are the reason my fridge is loaded with it in 120 format :) . Peter

And not letting the wind lever snap back :) . Peter

^ These are the follow-ups I enjoy . Bookmarked for future reference . Peter

Almost unbelievable , I rode to Laconia on Bsa's , Sportsters and Moto Guzzi LeMans for 25 years from the middle 70's to 2000 , and hard tail Panheads were prolific :) . Peter

It's beginning to sound promising ! Peter

^^ Anything that gets better with old beer cans has my vote :D:D:D !

And if you sometimes have the same luck as I do , the parts camera you buy is better than the one you're fixing :) . Peter
