A photo?

Nothing outstanding, but here’s a recent photo taken with the FED-2.

For those that are interested, the lens was an Industar-61, the film was Fuji Neopan 400 (exposed at 200asa), the film was developed in ADOX APH09 (1+100) for 15 minutes. The image itself is scanned from the negative, I’ve not used the darkroom for a while, sadly.

Another one (what, again)?

Yep, one more camera has joined the collection. This time, it’s a prewar (another another one) Zeiss Ikon 850/16 “Coffee can” twin lens reflex camera…

Having just taken this camera for a spin, it’s safe to say that I’ll use it again, but I’m now aware of its problems. The filmwinding lever seems to not wind sometimes, but as the filmcounter only moves when the film moves, that’s not as bad a problem… yet. The other problem is its focussing lever is stiff, I’m hoping this can be resolved easily by just regreasing the cameras helixes.

The results of the 120 roll of Ilford FP4+ is soon to follow.
