May 5: Celebrating Freedom

In the afternoon I took my (failing) Эликон to town, enjoying freedom.

(Well, in my case, "freedom" is more theory than reality, alas.)

FP3 in the not so CM Elikon.

Rübli!

Da habe ich das ganze Jahr d'rauf gewartet: Mörchenkäse. Saftig, schmackhaft. Und Feuerwürstchen, zum Wodka.
Die zierliche Japanerin (Sie kennen mein Faible für - nein? Nie gewusst?) verkauft mir Fingerfreie; èndlich wieder Stollen aus dem Erzgebirge, Reibekuchen, Glühwein  - D'dorf sprudelt und ich sprudele mit.

1973 FP3 in der unzuverlässigen Еликон, noch immer in Tabloid.

the Morning After

April 1968 FP3 in the 1990< Еликон

This was the 4th in a series of "normal" films, around 100 ASA.
Results: 2006 CBEMA (in Реактив) is too thin to handle and rockhard in contrast. 1968 Isopan (as usual in Rodinal): no joy at all, rather strange because her older 120 sister had no problems. The Ilford FP3, one old, one new box, were as expected: nice fog, nice pics. Better than the FP4 I had recently, but that could be a matter of taste.

And to do justice to the Свема: sunday's picture, this time not behind that half-frame Индустар 69, but the И95, that's 38mm.
It almost looks as if the Свема has a built in yellow filter

Tourists

The poor things... Nice umbrellas, though. And the 1969 FP3 looks all right too but it has in fact an interesting fog, only visible when underexposed, which is very much possible in my 1990< Еликон 35СМ...

D'dorfa, città deserta

Die Stadt ist verlassen, denn die Strassenbahnler streiken, ach mein armes kaputtes Knie. Ich weh' fast von der Brücke, aber unten sind die Schafe, ein Bild meiner Jugend, ich werde euch damit nicht langweilen...
In der neunziger Elikon 35CM habe ich heute 1992 Свема, wird entwickelt, mehr oder weniger, in Реактив aus den Siebzigern und das Фиксаж ist bestimmt genau so alt...
