My latest 6x9 folder, a '50s Agfa Record II with an Apotar f/4.5 105mm lens in a Prontor-S with speeds to 1/250. This camera has new bellows and has been 'reconditioned' - I suspect by Mr. Krekel. However the focus is set way too close - in the second shot (I'd posted this in the 6x9 thread before) you can see that set to infinity, the focus is on the first benches. So most of my shots did not come out too well; I was shooting the Statue of Liberty from behind.
The guy who sold me this threw in a few rolls of expired HP5+, including one already exposed one. I developed the film in nearly-dregs of old D-76 1:1, and promptly dropped the film on the basement floor after the photo flo... I have to remember to do this more often 
The boat is at f/22 1/250 without a filter; the benches are with an orange-yellow Series 6 filter + shade, ~f/8 at 1/250 (I could/should have shot stopped down one stop, but I was guesstimating the expired film...)

I love boat pix, even when they're out of the water! I like the effect using the orange filter on the
second. You should post that on the park bench thread at PentaxForum. |

She wasn't named the "Spray" was she ? Whenever I see an old wooden vessel I think of Joshua Slocum and the "Spray" .
Of course I believe she was lost with her master and his wife a few years after his record setting solo around the world voyage. One of the best books I have ever read. And I don't believe he had a formal education ?

Wow, I'm not a fan of Ilford film but these look great!
I suspect it's because of the photographer

Thanks - The Slocum book is one of my all time favorites. I plan to go back to the drydock to take more pics soon.
Here's a photo that shows a decent focus on the Ellis Island spires. I was shooting at f/8 with a orange-yellow filter. The lens looks to fall off towards the sides. Maybe my infinity problem is operator error... but on the second shot, I did set the lens to between 10m and infinity (I thought) but the guy scratching his head is beyond focus.

A 2400pix wide of the first pic here:

Looking more carefully at the second pic, as well as the first, maybe what ought to be the right side of these photos is blurrier than the left.

Could be a film plane issue with the pressure plate ? I had to fiddle about with my voigtlander when I built up a reducing mask for it .
Glad to meet a fellow Slocum fan ! It was one of the books my grandmother had in her library and she insisted I read it . A very pleasant surprise .
Looking forward to more shots from the dry dock !

The park bench shot is great! I also think the film plate may be a likely suspect. I had that happen with an Agfa Plenax where the film plane lets it rest in wave- or bubble-like form and that affects the focus in random, unpredictable ways.

Thanks for the tip - When I looked there was something suspicious sticking out from behind the plate. I shook the camera a bit and out dropped an ancient hardened bit of light seal flocking. Probably someone had flocked the edge of the back door, unnecessarily, some years ago. The thing had come loose and found its way under the pressure plate.

Really like this last one, nothing wrong with infinity focus in this scene. Forget where I read it, but an oldtimer advised to shoot the
frame, close the camera, then when opening the camera for next shot, advance to next frame to keep the film taut across the film
gate. He advised this even if you leave the camera unfolded the entire roll. |
