First shots with the HAPO 10 from 1936 - it's a rebadged Balda Pontina, with a Steinheil Cassar 3.8/105 in a Compur. And a light leak - I'd fixed the pinholes I saw but either the fix wasn't successful or I sprung another leak opening and closing the bellows. Anyhow, the Cassar shows promise.
the last one is the money shot from the roll - in the relative dark no light leak...
Also, I have to re-refine my development technique - I'm doing some inversions with the developer as I was getting streaks in skies with just the swizzle stick agitation. But now I think the reel moves up and one edge of the film doesn't get enough soup. Either 1/2 reel on top, or a rubber band, to keep the reel down and under liquid should do the trick.
Here's the Hapo

Hapo 10 - Hanns Porst Nurnberg - Balda - ~1936 by Nesster, on Flickr
On this sample, they left the Balda label on the shutter. The camera has a body shutter release, and both a brilliant vf on the nose and a fold-out set up, 6x9 (maskable to 6x4.5 but I lack the mask) _________________ -Jussi

The images show such fine CONTRAST! It looks as though you
have picked up a fine camera and lens. Your compositional skills are
EXCELLENT. But for the light leak, #2 is stunning to me. _________________

This is a Balda camera built before the war by the original company in Dresden, which later became known as Belca after the war. At the same time a new Balda company was set up in the western zone, in Bunde.
I have a love-hate relationship with pre-war Cassars: the example I havehad were very prone to surface tarnish which caused serious image degradation, but a good example can pack a punch, as demonstrated by Nesster. Getting the bellows fixed would be well worthwhile. |
