Praktica IV at the Hyde Street Pier

[luisalegria]

During the airshow, my wide-angle backup was my new Praktica IV, restored to duty by tightening a few screws. I aquired the thing in order to pick up a Meyer lens - it was just a lens-cap. Fully functional now.



With Soligor (Tokina) T4 21mm and 24mm. Its a real pleasure to get WIDE angle service from these. Those Canon 5's are looking better all the time.

Wheelhouse of the wooden paddle-steamer Eureka. This is my scan.



Bridge of the steam-tugboat Hercules - this is the film processors scan. They seem to do a better job than I can, with a smaller file size.

Luis, another fabulous set, love the colors in these! Makes me want to take
the Flek 4/20 for another test drive on an old film body. Your scans look fine
to me!

Which film did you use ? You get superb result , better than I ever expected from this combo.

[F16SUNSHINE]

Super shots.
Yes I think you should take a 5D.
There should be some nice cheap used ones soon.

Hi Attila,

That was Fujicolor 200.

I will see about a full-frame camera. Maybe next year.

Excellent results from an old camera Luis! I like the colours, not too intense. I've never had such nice results with Fuji film myself, maybe it's the processing. There's a Fuji lab not far from here, I might give it another go on the strength of your pics.
