The Bessa is an impressive camera, I have a (post war) Bessa I with the fantastic Color-Skopar coated lens. These old folders are amazing, I also have a 1937 Zeiss Ikonta 6x9 with a Zeiss Tessar lens, uncoated of course, and that can produce wonderful negatives if used with care, quite amazing considering it is 10 years older than me.

Did you have the camera on a tripod? It is a bit awkward to handhold and needs to be used with the shortest possible shutter speed and smallest aperture possible, I have found.

So far (one film completed and one half way through) I have used it handheld. The first roll was shot at 1/100s and f/16. I did have camera shake on one shot, so my second roll I used 1/250s (the fastest on my copy).

I'd like to be able to use the camera on cycling and walking outings so would prefer to avoid a tripod. Apart from the extra weight in carrying the tripod, one factor is that my copy does not, surprisingly, have a cable release socket, so long exposures would need to use the self-timer.

I'll probably stick to HP5+ in future to ensure I can use 1/250s
 
Today I got round to using a No 3 Kodak Folding Pocket Camera which I was given my by dad about three years ago. I loaded a piece of Kodabrome darkroom paper (quarter-plate size, or 3.25 inches * 4.25 inches) to produce this image.

The camera dates from between 1903 to 1909. The graves in the image are from 1915 so the camera would have been quite new at that time.

Had a day off so decided to test the cameras I found in my workshop. Surprise, the weather has turned pants!
Weeks of nice weather and it's grey and rainy when I go out. So I used my dull f4 instead of sunny 16!!!!

These are from the yashica mat, working well.

The perkeo roll came out completely blank, going to try again but I don't think I cocked the dev up. Feds are both fine, agfa isolette worked but it already had a roll inside form god only knows when so I guessed it all. Turned out okay but a bit underdeveloped, it was an old roll of hp5+. It is still useable. Rollieflex is dead and the Exa still has a roll in from earlier. I've had enough of developing today, my forearms have got dark bag rash. I've done more today on a day off than when I'm at work:ROFLMAO:

Had a good day out

Yashica Mat foma200 used my om-3 to digitise.







Ignore the fingerprints. Cant be bothered to get the ipa out.

Also got the roll back from the Minox CD112. It's the only film zoom compact I own. Decided with DX up to 3200 and it's got backlight compensation (buried somewhere) I thought it might be quite good. These were all at Smallwood vintage rally which was very busy and very hot!

Great images Suzy. I was going to go there but had to work. Looks like I missed out on a good day.

Looks like you had a great day out there David, no better way to spend your day off work !
Fantastic shots there as well,
 
A fresh DSLR scan of an older picture which I'd only ever scanned with an Epson V550 previously. Being able to scan a full roll of film at high quality in under 10 minutes is a real pleasure.

I often do that, check out the welding almost subconsciously, there is a serious lack of penetration in a couple of places almost as though it has been repaired or modified by a different person. :(

I was laughing at the undercut on the bumper stop, i tried to figure out how it had gone into the jig and what position he must have welded that in to get it so bad.

Quite sad really. :ROFLMAO:

Being in the game, I often look at things like that too :ROFLMAO: And the general aesthetics of things.

I think Keith is right, the top section appears to have been welded back on, looks like they used stick and there are a couple of slag inclusions.

I am going back to the park to check. :ROFLMAO:
 
I have got a grin from ear to ear writing this, took the 4x5 out for the first time on a very windy Winter Hill, wind blew my cape into a puddle and I dropped my red filter on a rock scratching it, but I am not bothered. All my theorizing has worked.... Yaaaay

5 EV scene, red filter opened up four stops
1/2 seconds at F32
FP4 expired 2023 EI 80 in 510 Pyro

PP = Non apart from handling marks and crop only

My appreciation for the skill in some of these photo's is growing exponentially, I am going to start looking at this thread from the beginning.

I took two slides up the windy moors and this is the second one, I suspect Peter will know this scene

3.5 EV scene, yellow/green filter opened up 2 and 2/3 stops
1/2 seconds at F32

Also in the Dog appreciation thread.

Took my M645Pro for an outing with our camera club to Brighton. It was an event organised by our Infra-Red group, my OH had the infra-red camera but I went with my M645 plus 35mm, 80mm and 150 mm lenses - with FP4plus and red filter... As the camera hadn't been out for long, two of the lenses had a sticky aperture which meant the lens was wide open making exposure assessments tricky but I prevailed in the end. Film was developed by DSCL and a medium resolution scan was provided by them.
