the automobile
Through the lens of a Mycro III A subminiature camera, negative size 14×14 mm. On medium format Ilford Delta 100, cut to size. If I was a bit better at hacking the film to size I think I’d get much more consistent sharpness across the frame. Since it’s all a bit jagged and stuff, the…

The Mycro Subminiture Camera
These were shot with a Mycro III A, a subminiature camera from Japan, from the 1950s. These cameras where a bit of a craze and/or tourist trap back then. They’re generally referred to as “HIT-style cameras”, after one of the first models. The Mycro I have is one of the last models, and one of…

crops
This wasn’t so successful as an overall photo but I do like these crops. All from the same medium format frame, shot with a 1932 Rolleiflex “Old Standard” on Ilford Delta 400. Scanned negative. I should have scanned it at higher resolution for this but I don’t think the difference would show up here, really.…

birbs
These were friendly enough to stay around until I had the camera ready – something most other wildlife could learn a thing or two from. Shot with a 1932 Rolleiflex “Old Standard” on Ilford Delta 400, scanned negative.

gate
plus zoom into the upper right corner because I like how painterly that corner specifically looks. Will put the main subject there from now on and only post crops. I still haven’t quite figured out how to do good photos with the Rolleiflex in general, because everything looks so cool through the viewfinder. It’s a…

chasing shadows
Shot with an Ihagee Exakta Varex IIb with a slightly absurd combination of lenses: A 60s Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolar 2/50mm, which is very nice but also a bit soft around the edges when wide-open (as it was for this). Plus a very cheap Hanimex 2x Teleconverter which makes everything much much worse. Or better,…

wandervogel
Taken with a early-thirties Zeiss Ikon Box-Tengor 54/2 that my grandpa gave me when he saw my other old cameras. It’s weirdly elaborate for a box camera – full metal chassis, three selectable focusing distances where it shifts additional lenses behind the main lens, two tripod mounts, and a place for a cable shutter release.…

lookout
Accidental double exposure which worked out alright. What didn’t work out so well was the development of that film. It’s 90s expired Kodak Ektachrome (slide film) which I had in room temperature C41 for ages (my choosing of development recipes is largely based on moon phases and tarot cards). I think maybe the bleach-fix isn’t…

more mountains
Berlin’s tallest mountain is 121 meters of building rubble. I think these were a bit higher and maybe not even made out of rubble at all. Curious things, they deserve to take up two-thirds of every film roll IMHO. 1932 Rolleiflex “Old Standard”, on Ilford Delta 400, scanned negatives

mountain view
Shot with an Ihagee Exakta Varex IIb with a Pentacon 200mm/f4 lens on Konica Centura 100 film. The film expired 2001, i.e. it’s basically brand new – when compared to the other color films I have been using lately. Also this is actually negative color film for once, so no cross-processing. Still looks very pleasingly…
