Using the Exakta 500 with above and expired (2002) Kodak Gold 100:







first shot at either f11 or f16

2nd shot at either f5.6 of f8

3rd shot wide open

Sunny 16 for metering, 2nd shot is underexposed, but the colors in the cat's coat are dead-on.

Thanks, Jes, the camera is a pleasure to use and hope you get one of yours
running very soon! One thing about these cams is when you rewind it is so
smooth and without hardly any resistance you have the sinking feeling the film
did not get shot, but then it turns even more freely and everything is OK. Good
solid German engineering! Smile

Thanks, Trifox, I love the film medium, too, although I have friends who
think I'm silly to not go completely digital. Wink Laughing
