Checkpoint Charlie on ORWO

My NP22 ORWO of today was made when the Berlin wall was about to come down. At that time the new Wall in Nijmegen was built, and now that is crumbling! The problems are known for over six years and nothing has been done! Shame!

My 1973 Salyut is still watertight and shock proof.

October Revolution

 This october will have a slightly Russian flavour. Not entirely PC, but neither am I. In the bright sunlight I tested the KievTTL finder, filled with three 625's and some aluminum foil and it works perfectly.
The ±40 years old Orwo NP20 was a bit scratchy, the yellow filter was maybe not the right choise but who cared.

PS "some" means: make a little ball and push it in...

Sixties FP3, Industar 80mm

# New York State Of Mind, 1976 Billy Joel

Testing... 7a

...and comparing sixties (no box, but a metal spool) Tri-X and the 1960 Super Hypan.
Both in the seventies Zenit 80.
The Kodak went probably down to 25 ASA, the Ansco had lost it almost completely but I still have one roll. Both had of course some fog. The third one is Ilford's HPS, 620, so in the Kodak Duo620. That's tomorrow, look above.
Interesting: Tri-X was 400 of course (small pic), Super Hypan was 200 ASA but Ansco said it was 500, and the HPS would be 800 but everybody always doubted that.

PS My scanner still has that "banding"-problem. Hitting it didn't help, nor did shouting. Ideas? SEE COMMENT!

Kontraste (Three women)

Minus: wegen Parkplatzmangels steht mein Auto in Heerdt. Plus: in der Strassenbahn funktionieren sämtliche Stempelautomaten nicht. Und das Wetter!
Lammsteller mit Plavac in der Bergerstrasse, al fresco natürlich. Stracciatella an der Promenade.
Man gönnt sich ja sonst nichts.
Aber: die drei Damen machen mich nachdenklich...
