Contact Sheet #29
The first roll from my ill-fated venture into the world of 6x9 folding cameras. I bought the camera from eBay and had high hopes for it, but when it arrived I noticed that the front standard was slightly out of alignement. Not by much - barely noticeable - but maybe tilted so the right side of the standard was out by a millimetre or so. Unfortunately, while it was only a fractional misalignment, it meant that the images the camera produced were all noticeably soft on the left side of the frame. Probably not visible in this contact sheet, but apparent when examined more closely.
The camera should produce 8 frames per roll, but operator error led to me accidentally winding on too far and buggering it up!
