Some of you may remember I picked up an Agfa Isolette II from a charity shop. I ran a roll of Tri-X through it and Yay! no light leaks. Here are the images, commercial dev and scan and a little bit of tweaking in Lightroom 1.4. I was pleased that on the whole the focus is OK given it is the "point and guess" variety!
1. Ayot St Lawrence, Herts (1)
2. Ayot St Lawrence, Herts (2)
3. Ayot St Lawrence, Herts (3)
4. Ayot St Lawrence, Herts (4)
5. My bokeh testing fence
6. Gandhi with flowers
7. St Albans clock tower
8. Hertfordshire view near Sandridge
9. Sandridge from Sandridgebury
10. Sandridge from Sandridgebury with horse
11. Old crane at Lamer Park
12. A nosey sheep at Lamer
Best wishes, Kris. _________________ Kris Lockyear

I really like the Isolette ii. I have the middle of the range one with Apotar lens. I found a cheap lens hood and yellow filter for it too, which would probably help it.
Why guess focus? Grab a hotshoe RF. _________________ Casual attendance these days |

Mine is the bottom of the range one. And I'm looking for a RF although going by these perhaps I should just keep guessing. A hood and a filter would be good.

That and used 400 ASA film and stopped down as much as I could (apart from the bokeh test image of the fence which was wide open).
