Ihagee Exakta Varex w/ Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolar 50/2, on Ilford Delta 100, scanned negatives

Ihagee Exakta Varex w/ Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolar 50/2, on Ilford Delta 100, scanned negative, not properly cleaned but hey, art and stuff

This is the early 60ies aluminium-bodied Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar lens that I usually have on the Exakta now. I don’t know if this translates to instagram very well, the magic might be mostly in seeing things really close through the viewfinder of a weird old camera, with a self-built contraption that doesn’t look like…

macro experiments, part 2 Same setup as last post. I need to find stuff which is more interesting looking at that scale. Maybe moss or something. This is a plant of some kind (idk of what kind). The new leaf in the center is maybe 5mm long or so.

This is a (used) soldering sponge, images are 5mm across or so. Shot with a Ihagee Exakta Varex IIb, using a Pentacon 200mm lens, and a roughly 600mm long extension made out of cardboard.

Ihagee Exakta Varex IIb w/ Pentacon 200mm/f4 (which I like very much so far) on Ilford Delta 400 (the stripes on the second pic are bromide drag and my fault,…

bit shaky but I like it 💁‍♂️ Ihagee Exakta Varex w/ Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm/2.8 (yea super important to mention the lens in a picture that’s mostly motion blur :P), Ilford Delta 400, scanned negative

This isn’t the world’s best photo ever but I hand-held this at night with a pretty unwieldy Pentacon 200mm/f4 at 1/30s or so, and somehow it didn’t come out totally blurry. Gonna try brain surgery next. Also my “new” (1964-ish) Ihagee Exakta Varex works again, after I disassembled and re-assembled the whole thing because it…
