Some of you may remember I picked up an Agfa Isolette II from a charity shop. I ran a roll of Tri-X through it and Yay! no light leaks. Here are the images, commercial dev and scan and a little bit of tweaking in Lightroom 1.4. I was pleased that on the whole the focus is OK given it is the "point and guess" variety! Smile

1. Ayot St Lawrence, Herts (1)

5. My bokeh testing fence



6. Gandhi with flowers



7. St Albans clock tower



8. Hertfordshire view near Sandridge



9. Sandridge from Sandridgebury



10. Sandridge from Sandridgebury with horse



11. Old crane at Lamer Park



12. A nosey sheep at Lamer



Best wishes, Kris.

Very nice series and great performance of the Isolette
my favourite is #10, your proximity to the horse really paid off
very nice architecture in #3

The Isolette did very well!

Nice B&W, I like #2 most.

I really like the Isolette ii. I have the middle of the range one with Apotar lens. I found a cheap lens hood and yellow filter for it too, which would probably help it.

Why guess focus? Grab a hotshoe RF.

Mine is the bottom of the range one. And I'm looking for a RF although going by these perhaps I should just keep guessing. A hood and a filter would be good.

Amazing results. And you get guessed the focus? Incredible.

That and used 400 ASA film and stopped down as much as I could (apart from the bokeh test image of the fence which was wide open).

Hoods are esay to get. Mine is just a generic 30mm push fit, as is the filter.

You definitely made the qualities of this camera shine, Womble, and the whole set has a nice vintage feel.
