I'm getting the hang of it - this time all the photos worked out, save there was frame overlap with the final two.

Looking at these it is hard to believe they are actual photos,the color and the details are amazing.

Thanks - this is the 'miniature' Graflex SLR - it takes 120 film and is smaller than a lunch box. But there are about 6 or 7 steps to getting the camera ready to take the next picture. You have to flip the mirror back yourself first, before doing anything else. Focusing isn't too difficult - there's a pop up magnifier - but you have to open the lens manually, and then put it back to shooting aperture yourself.

I like this one, but the 2nd has a strange blue/purple cast.

Any idea what is causing that?

Um... that would be me Laughing I monkeyed with the color balance -- like many Kodak films, the Ektra scans yellowish for me, and I done over compensated
