Really impressive results!!!
Next time we meet, you'll have to show me how you control temperature of chemicals for colour processing. I have trouble keeping good temperature for B&W in my bathroom.

Very simple I heat with micro wave oven 1st developer to 38C and keep other parts in hot bath water. I use plastic tank , temperature not changing under development much. Bleach fixing (2th bath ) only around 38C I not keep it.

Agfas are great, and as always you manage to get the best out of a camera with your landscapes and city shots.

Now you have to try the 35mm Agfa rangefinders. Smile

35mm AGFA RF any specific recommendation ?

The folding Super Solinette with the Solinar (Tessar), or the Super Silette with the Solinar or Solagon f2 (double Gauss).

Another excellent but weird one is the Karat, which mounts Agfa or Rodenstock lenses, often a double gauss f2 type. It's a struts folding camera, the later Karat IV has the same vf/rf as the Super Silette, the older ones had a rangefinder where the whole vf is split in half. The really old ones used film cassettes.

@Jussi, yes, good call! Laughing

As I mentioned before, the Karat IV with Heligon would be very nice to
have.

#7 is my fave, nice series, Attila!
