Many thanks to Attila for kindly allowing me to try this camera out before I relayed it to him. It's a good one, not quite as sharp as my Ikonta-M but still very respectable, suffers from flare a bit though.

Stick to MF analog, it really suits your style. Smile

Cheers Ludoo, I like to shoot old buildings and other vintage subjects so BW film does fit very well with those subjects.

I am liking the shots from these vintage cameras. Nicely done on this set.

#3 would be a beautiful photo if you did not apply that terrible digital texture.
Stay with your negatives, you take good photos, of good subjects, with good camera, you don't need fake beautifiers.
Beauty is already there in the simple pureness of your negatives.

Ian, you should take really crappy pictures, lots of OOF shots directly into the sun, etc. Then Attila
won't want it and you have a free camera! Wink Laughing Next time, OK?

Bill, shh, I'm just waiting till I have to relay something special to try that tactic! Wink

I still see the artifacts in the sky. Confused Then I guess it's a problem with the negative.

Yes, not sure what happened, sadly.

I had similar ugly artifact with Efke film, film was fresh new. May developing time was wrong really no clue. With same camera later on other film I made brilliant shoot.
