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...

From Russia, with love


I found this pre-1900 picture from tsaristic Russia and almost "recognised" it. So I tried to copy it, yesterday, with the Russian Horizon202, tram in the background ("das Betreten der Bahnanlage ist strengstens verboten!").

Altweiber (Immer noch, oder wieder)

Das Wetter ist wunderbar: Sonne, 26 Grad und im Schatten angenehm kühler. Aber ich geniesse es nur nebenbei, denn ich bin auf einer Mission, ja iméju odná tsjèlja! Und ich weiss auch genau wó ich das gesuchte Bild machen werde. Neugierig? Morgen im Blog.


Denn ein Blaubeermuffin genehmige ich mir, bei Puppe an der Luegallee noch ein Roggenpüppchen und zuhause wartet Kasseler mit Endivie unter'nander (hoi Pieter!)

Three markets, three films



Nijmegen NL The market is all over the place and you can buy anything there: cheese, plants for your garden, shoes. Must be cheap, very cheap.

I had sixties Ilford HP3 (no date: test only) in the HB + Distagon 60mm.








Firenze I The San Lorenzo market is rather big, but very touristic: mostly bags, leather jackets and "stuff". But the Mercato Centrale is also there, for fresh meat and vegetables.

Canon F1, probably. (Kodak TriX?)





Düsseldorf BRD The market on the Carlsplatz looks very "dense", neat. But the food is first class quality ànd interesting, you'll be spoiled for choice.

1973 Orwo NP20 in the 1973 Zenit80

Frauenblicke

Fällt mir immer wieder auf: Frauen sehen die 1973 Zenit80 gerne. Sie wird angelächelt und angesprochen. Und recht haben Sie, meine Damen!

Die DDR Orwo NP80, auch von 1973 hat sich sehr gut gehalten. Bisschen rauh und schmutzig, aber sonst okay.

Apropos Kö-Terrassen: màch'es, Jungs! Damit es nicht so wie in meiner Stadt wird. (Oben, suche den Gast.)


E The 1973 GDR Orwo in the 1973 (!) Zenit80 was a bit foggy, but had almost kept the 20 DIN.
 (Hey - Din was West, or did they mean "Democratic Ind.Norm"?)

One-day summer

Today, 10 September 2011: summer in Nijmegen NL!

PS testing Colortec in the 1950 Ibis; works, so the Tripleprint, see below, was the problem.
