nov 1990 ILFOCOLOR

On flickr I have - or rather hàd, I cannot reach my accounts any more - albums about my experiences with old film. I will continue that on this blog.
(I hope...) LABEL: OLD FILM

So film Nr. 169: NOV 1990 Ilfocolor (135) loss of sensitivity and saturation, but at ISO 10-20 still an image.
In the sixties Кристалл with 1958 MIR-1 37mm
BTW this was film No. 13 in 3 months old Colortec

A week later,

Kodak 200

in even older Colortec

(MC Super Albinar 28mm)

Ich muss unbedingt mal kucken ob ich das Photo von 1966 noch habe!

Heute 1973 FP3 in 4 Wochen alten (!) Microphen aus den sechziger Jahren.
Hinterm 1967 Grand Prix Mir 37mm.

МИР-1 on Fujica

Today at last the 39>42 ring arrived, and this one, from colombian_supremo, fitted perfectly. For less than $2,-
So I un-glued the "Grand-Prix" from the Praktica, I'll have to clean that a bit, and screwed it on the Fujica. Nice.

Data: 1967 Мир-1,
1972 Fujica,
1973 Ilford FP3
"Promicrol".

Zitronenmohnmuffin

Wàtt?
Ja, war kein Wildblaubeermuffin zu sehen. Kann man ruhig mal probieren.
Das Bild trügt, übrigens. Herrliche Sonne, freundliches Volk auf der Strasse. Ich werf' natürlich noch einen letzten Blick auf den Tausendfüssler, mit der мир-1, aber eigentlich komme ich nur um Safran Risotto zu kaufen, gibt's bei uns nicht.

Zuhause stellt sich heraus dass die ± 70 Jahre alte D-11 immer noch funktioniert, aber jetzt is er alle, schade. Ich zersäge das Kürbiskernige von Terbuyken, harte Arbeit, die sich aber lohnt.

M39 - the 2013 Easter Lecture...

M39 - the famous screw-Leica, and all those Russian clones, early Zenits and other cameras. Interchangable lenses, wòw!

"Well, that's not entirely accurate,mr. president..." (Independence Day)

Looking for some WA for my фед, I bought that "widely available" индустар-69 and discovered that it's half-frame, ànd (I had a hell of a time finding a naked чайка) the film-plane distance is also different: the Elmar's don't fit the чайка either.

Then I bought the мир-1 "Grand Prix Brussels 1958", only to discover that this lens is nòt for CRF's. Sigh! So I ordered a 39/42 ring in Scotland and almost wrecked my Praktica. Ordered one in China but that hasn't arrived yet and then I could not wait any longer, I hàd to test it so wrapped that plumber-stuff around it (for concentricity) and glued it to the poor old LTL 3! Looks very posh!

"Are you serious...?"
Yes, I'm a daredevil. No respect for cameras whatsoever. But because even glue has some "thickness", infinite still came a lot nearer, so it is not the sharpest 37mm ever (and AgfaOrtho never gives that suggestion of sharpness).

Legendary M39 - too small, slow, nòt universal. But when I'm using my wartime Elmar on the Frankenstein it feels very, very right.
