more trees on paper negatives
with a Rodenstock Bistigmat (symmetric doublet), this time wide-open at f18. Yes 18, not 16 – its 1895 or so, and the industry standards aren’t that much of a standard yet. i kept telling myself to get closer, but this is probably not quite close enough yet. this lens is a 30 cm or so,…

that gate
slightly overexposed, but such is life with paper negatives. IIRC this with an exposure time of 5 seconds, which is always fun with people around. 18×24 field camera, with a Rodenstock Bistigmat at f/51, on Ilford MGRC paper @ ISO 3 (which was a bit much light here)

island
i really like the mood of this one. it also has a few more light leaks as that was with a different film holder than the last one, but that kinda adds to it. this looks nothing like it did in real life, it looks better 🙂 18×24 field camera, Rodenstock Bistigmat at f/51, on…

large format test pinguin
All 340 megapixels of him. First picture with my new camera. Not entirely unsuccessful but also a bit over exposed and not focused correctly. But als no light leaks so that’s something! Especially given that the camera and the film holder are 150 year old pieces of solid-mahagoni furniture. This was shot on 18×24 cm…

berliners on the first warm days
with a 30s Kochmann Reflex-Korelle with half-broken shutter and a 35 cm f4.5 Tele-Xenar, which could have used a tripod. And an 8 cm f2.8 Tessar which could have used a sun hood. On Foma 200
