Graflex Speed Graphic Image no. 1

Graflex Speed Graphic Graflex Optar 135mm f4.7 using a 6x6 120 Roll Back.  Kodak T-Max 400 D-76 Stock. Using the 120 back mean I am shooting through the best part of the glass and it shows. This lens is tack sharp, The Graflex Roll back requires you to remove the ground glass back to install it so it is important to get things nailed down.

Breaking Out the Big Gun

Voightlander Bessa 66 Another Example

Voightlander Bessa 66 FUJIFILM NPH400 Arista C-41 - Another shot from the Bessa. Late afternoon so I was starting to get some warm Sweet Light. Nice colors and textures here, again showing off the Bessa's Lens.

Voightlander Bessa 66 Shot

Voightlander Bessa 66 FUJIFILM NPH 400 Arista C-41 - Just a quick snap to show the Bessa's Sharpness and Color rendition.

Voightlander Bessa 66

My Voightlander Bessa 66. Another Medium Format folder with guestimation focus. The Vaskar 75mm f4.5 is tack shard, if not fast. The Bessa 66 does have a top shutter speed of 1/500th of a second so is definitely a usable snapshot camera.

JZETTE

JZETTE I love old folding cameras. These were the pocket cameras of their day. This is the Jzette. Made in Germany with a Xenostar 7.5cm f3.5, the Jzette sports guesstimation focus and a screaming top shutter speed of 1/150th of a second. An image from this camera will be in the next post.
