I like this one a lot, street in motion. There's a lot going on in this, several
stories in one frame, like the camera savvy lady in shades/blue shirt. The
colors look very realistic with this new Portra. Congrats, and on being the
boss! Cool

Bessa Heliar 3.5/105 w/tmax400@100. This was an old film that went through hell. It shows a bit of reticulation (that bubbly grain in the oof area) but the shot came out nice.
These two are camera Junkies for sure Very Happy

Attila has one of these cameras for sale I was surprised to see. Awesome, awesome Portrait folder! Great price too Surprised

Kodak London 105mm Anaston f/4.5 lens. Fujicolor 400.
This (coated) lens, from a 1950s Kodak Sterling II 620(only) film camera, was used 'hitching a ride' on a 1930s Ensign Autorange 20 (120 film) camera body.

Kodak London 100mm Anastar f/4.5 lens from Kodak Six-20a . Fujicolor Pro 400.
At the time, this lens was on a Kodak Sterling II body (the original Anaston lens of which was currently 'on duty' elsewhere). 120 film was re-spooled to, and back from, 620 spools in a Dark Bag.

Very nice results from the Medalist, and Envoy... And the whole stable. You have some really nice cameras accumulated!
Have you posted more about the Envoy? If not, please do a presentation in the RF camera or equipment photos section, I'd be interested to see the camera and learn a bit more about it.

I would suggest to rename this thread into "6x9"
or the casual viewer might think strange Laughing

I was testing the accuracy of framing with the Moskva-2, Reala 100. Pretty good, probably a function of exactly where my eye was - the result is a tiny smidge off towards the left.

I should have pulled out the tripod for this shot - plus, it was the first time I was using the camera that day, so I was fumbling around a bit, had to find that shutter button on the LEFT side Laughing This was in shade, so I had to shoot 1/50 wide open at f/4.5 with the Moskva-2. First time using Adox CHF ART 50, D-76 1:1, the tone is as scanned.

next shot on the roll - in sunlight this time, so I could close the lens down a bit and shoot at 1/100

I'll have to take pics of the '50s Agfa Record 6x9, but here's one from the first roll through. Looks like I probably need to adjust infinity on the lens - otherwise the camera is in gorgeous shape with new bellows and everything (I had to do the adjustment on the Bessa 1 as well, which also had been restored)... Maybe there's a pattern.


Expired HP5+ in dregs of D-76, with that critical floor-dip after the photo-flo. The floor was the basement floor, with some kitty litter. Orange-yellow filter. Resolutely commando exposure, resulting in over-exposure due to over thinking the expired film factor Smile ~f/11 1/250, but remember the orange-yellow filter!

65mm f/6.8 Angulon Folder Special, Ektar 100 F/11 1/200 . Sharp in the middle; on the negative, the white lettering on the black signpost can be read. On the next film I'll try F/16 Wink
