color film, truly the marvel of our times
Ihagee Exakta Varex IIb w/ 50mm Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolar f/2, on Agfa Ultra 100 expired 2006, scanned negative Home-developed and this is a straight scan, and I’m obviously pretty happy with that. Did all the 35 other pics turn out that well? Of course. All killer no filler. Did I leave some shots blank…

The hottest new thing: color photography.
With a 1920s 9x12cm plate camera. On Fujichrome Provia film, which expired 1999. So, three years …uhm no 23 years ago. That’s slide film, but I crossed-processed this in C41 (normal negative color film) chemistry because that’s finicky enough already. First one is color-corrected digitally, the straight negative is very very green (second pic is…

kitchen wall in 9×12
This is on Ilford MGRC paper, with a 0 Grade filter in front of the lens, which makes it behave a bit better when used as a film substitute. In fact it’s pretty good outside – ISO 3-ish, wide open (f/4.5) it comes out to 1/20s on a sunny day – totally usable hand held.…

one more from the 9×12, from today
1920s 9×12 camera, 135mm/f4.5, 1/20s, Ilford MGRC paper in a glass plate holder, digital positive Including the springs in the plate holder that would hold a glass plate in place. Focusing remains a problem. As does holding the thing straight. I measured the shutter timing yesterday and learned that it’s not working as well as…

2020s Berlin with a 1920s camera
I have exactly 3 plate holders and it made some sort of picture for each of them, so that’s sort of amazing. All hand-held, between 1/20s and 1/5s, all on Ilford MGRC paper, cut to 9x12cm. Composition by guesswork. Well, by using the “brilliant finder”, which is neither brilliant, nor really showing what the camera…

first image from my “new” (late 1920s) camera
Got it for 30€ with a broken shutter and super grimy lens but it cleaned up extremely well, and the shutter only needed some old grease removed. It’s a “Doppelanastigmat” lens which means one can actually remove the front lens and it’s still working, just at double the focal length. Basically 2x zoom built-in. So…

mirror selfies, Exakta edition
Though honestly I think me using a cable shutter release makes this automatically Self Portraiture, i.e. High Art. Yeah I’m going with that. p Ihagee Exakta Varex IIb w/ Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm, on Ilford Delta 100, scanned negatives

you can brush on photographic fixer, it’s not against the law, they can’t stop you
However it just looks like a colorized b&w photo, done by someone with really weird taste in colors. The yellow is where I added fixer, the rose colored parts are unfixed. It certainly works better for sharper pictures with clear borders between things but it’s still a bit weird looking. Maybe there’s other scenes where…
