Today I have been testing one of my two' Gift' British 'Ensign Selfix Model 1' cameras as i want to take one to BERLIN soon -- i was there in 1957 with the British Army and took some photos showing all the war damage and I thought i would take back an 'Ensign Selfix' again and take photos from the SAME angle ! Our Hotel is in the old 'Russian Sector' of East Berlin -- where we were NOT allowed to go unless on an 'Organised Bus Tour' and with a East German 'Guide' who kept an eye on what we were photographing -- NO PHOTOS out of the window of East Berliners living in holes in the ground for example !
I Loaded with 02/2007 dated ILFORD Xp2Super 400 ASA that I wanted to test in a new mix of Bleach with my C41 chemicals. I rated film at 250 ASA as it was old -- I used teh 1/300th second shutter speed but metered with Weston Master V as if it was 1/200th as camera is over 60 years old. I got some good negs -- I scanned with old Epson 1650 flatbed + Vuescan Pro + FastStone Image Viewer abs show two Tests.
