Contessa-Nettel Suevia / Delta 100

[Nesster]

The Suevia with Rollex back, Delta 100 in HC-110, Epson 4490. The f/6.3 Nettar-Anastigmat is typical of the era (pre 1930) as it gives a lot of veiling flare and is in general low contrast. So I helped the pictures a bit, figuring that is what the photographer of the day would have done as well.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!
I think Jussi that you and I envision B&W in a very similar way
(I more refer to monochrome tones and general philosophy of the negative, more than to the subjects - although these are similar as well)

[Nesster]

Thank you everyone - I enjoy struggling with these vintage things.

This particular camera's brilliant finder (on the nose) turned out to be especially difficult to use. But here are a couple of lesser samples from that roll.

The Goerz with Dagor is probably ~5 years older than this Contessa... but the Dagor is clearly a superior lens. Well, and I used color film
