YO !! Out on my 'One Allowed Exercise' with Old Cameras and Old Film -- I chose my 1950's era British 'Ensign Selfix 12/20 with 75mm Ross Xpres and outdated Kodak Vericolor III i wnted to use use up I rated film at 25 ASA and processed in C41 . Scanned with CANON 9000F mk II + Vuescan Pro + FastStone Image Viewer to colour correct and add contrast and Un-Sharp Mask.
I got only 1/50th @ f5.6 or f4.5 as the light was poor and only 25 ASA rating ! I had to Guess the focus distance -- I found INFINITY' was NOT SHARP -- so i tested with Ground Glass and found i had to set 40 feet or just under to get 'Infinity' sharp so I took 2 frames of a couple of shots.
Ed the Postman is always good for a Test Portrait and I give him prints -- here In set 7 feet -- not quite sharp -- 1/50th @ f4.5 may have a little Camera Shake

Brentwood High Street ! This is the Roman Road from London to the Roman Garrison at Colchester -- now there is a 'By-Pass' but when i moved in 1965 it was the MAIN ROAD through!
