I was too busy being nervous. BTW, this was Tri-X rated at 3200 and developed in Microphen for 12 minutes @ 74 degrees.

I found one more. This peep show was shut down when Citicorp built its huge building across the street. Enjoy the good old Tri-X grain! I got this shot in 1979! These girls are grannies now.

 

I have a Plustek 8200 i scanner. Where can I get a slide holder for it? I've lost the original.

Only one?

 

Well..uh...you have me figured out. Yes, I sneaked a few more shots. I'll post them in this thread after I do the scanning.

I risked my neck getting this shot.

 

I could never get decent results from that film. I always underexposed, and the shots were too contrasty. Here is a dismal example. Anyone do well with this emulsion? But there's no grain!

Would it have been different with another lens?

 

Nikon lenses do lovely things in the highlights, so I imagine they would have also performed well. I had a collapsible Leica 50mm once, and it would have flared out for this shot. I had a 90mm Leica lens from 1949 that would not have flared. This Ultron was probably manufactured in the 1950s.

I took this with a Voigtlander Prominent II mounting an Ultron f2.0 50mm. This is a resized but otherwise unaltered scan. I am impressed by how the highlights are hot without blocking up and by the vivid colors. Is this characteristic of the lens, or did I get lucky with the exposure and scan? ?

Voigtlander Prominent I and II

Nikon F3, hands down.

Two things:

 

This lens won't AF on my D7000. WHY? BTW, it does focus on my N90s.

 

ON THIS LENS, NEXT TO THE F STOP SCALE, THERE IS A RED DOT WITH A SMALL SWITCH BESIDE IT. WHAT IS IT FOR?

Blondes look the best of all in braids. Braids just don't work with dark hair, especially if it is curly. .

I have film in my EOS 620, set for frame 1. But now the camera needs service. How can I rewind/get the film out without losing the leader? Can I put it in a changing bag and simply open the back?

Tears lost in rain. Nice image. Are you a writer?

I need a single focus spot in the middle of the vf screen, but I can't remember how to arrange this. I can't move the spot around so I can lock it in. Any one able to do this?

Taken by a Minox 35ML. Amazing lens.

 

I have a 135mm Heliar lens from an old Voigtlander Avus 9x12 camera. I have mounted it on a board for Pacemaker Speed Graphic. What can I expect from such a lens? Will it outperform my 127mm Kodak Ektar? I have an Avus with a Skopar lens. The lens is fantastic, especially in mono. Are Skopars considered superior to the Heliars? Some people say the lenses produce different moods.
