Moscow 5

I recently got my first roll of film (Kodak Tmax 400) from my Moscow 5 6x9 rangefinder. Not the easiest camera to use and I kept forgetting to cock the shutter. Not the best set of images I've ever taken but at least I know the camera is working fine and is light tight.













Best wishes, Kris.

The 5th image is wonderful, they the benches lead your view up to the statue near the top of the image. The 6x9 format is a tough one for most folks but you seem to have a good eye that works very well with this format.

Fifth image is good, I agree. I have trouble using 400 ISO film in the older cameras. with the exception of my Balda Juwella, which stops down to f32, I don't have any with a tight enough aperture and fast enough shutter to reliably expose 400 ISO.

In England in the winter I dare not use anything slower than ISO 400! Nice thing with 6x9cm negatives is that one is less worried about grain... Smile

Best wishes, Kris.

Very nice series. There is something about the look of your photos. Very vintage looking that you can't replicate on the digital media!
