Some Plenax Test Shots

[David]

I developed the first roll from one of my two Agfa Plenaxes. This is only 6X9 format (no second window for 6X4.5 as many Plenaxes have) and has a variable-speed shutter. The Plenax I'll test next week has only one shutter speed and no rear element. Should be interesting! Here are a few shots from this camera. Film was Tmax 100 expired in the 1990s, I think.


I'm quite pleased with the image quality. The details are sharp and contrasts pretty good.


This was actually a 6X4.5 shot. I accidentally put the other Plenax's blind plate in this camera and didn't realize it until after it was loaded. I tried four shots this way (only one was badly overlapped) and then took the plate out in the dark.


My favorite shot off the roll. I think I will keep this camera. TBD on the other Plenax.
