I didn't expect too much from this camera in advance ... and seems one of the best from all what I ever tested Shocked (if we not count crappy below ) Laughing I have two leaks on below , but was easy to fix with black electrical tape and I am amazed ...

Hi-res images are here

I guess I am fine with electric tape for a while and if I see a good below on wrong camera I will replace it.

Great adverts for Budapest!

A good temporary repair for pinhloles - in fact it lasts for ages - is to make a mix of flexible glue like - evostick serious glue - and matt black enamel paint of the sort you use on Airfix kits. Dab a blob on the pinhole and off you go!

Damn nice, I'm comparing these to the Konica, and am hard put to figure out which I prefer - these scans/film are bluer than the Konica set, but I think the resolution is there... And these Agfas are excellent, which means the Konica lens is doing you a lot of good, as usually I see degradation due to the 135 film size when compared to 120.

I prefer this over Konica, medium format is my way seems.

I've used some black automotive silicon goop with success - they sell this stuff to fix car interiors and so on, and being a car supply seems to make it cheaper. Flexible and tough and black.

Re. preferring mf - exactly - which is why the Konica impresses, as clearly the lens manages to overcome much of the format limitation.


....on second look, I see 3D with the people on the Agfa but lost resolution with the Konica. That's the film size for you!
