Original 16 mm film is hard to get and very expensive, so I always cut the last piece of a film to 16 mm. Easy, and enough for 8 negs.
135 Gives 1 strip, 120 even easier,  gives three.

PS Unsharp Silberra? No - I just didn't focus, my fault.

Ночь

1957 Смена, 1955 Проявитель

Temperatur

Ein bisschen komisch: bei 22 grad plus, lange Unterhosen für 32 grad minus kaufen. Aber weil Sibirien kein ferner Traum mehr ist, sondern bevorstehende Realität...
Aber zuerst noch ein herbstliches PuddingHimbeerStarbucksMuffi mit Doppio.

E In Stalin's Volkswagen (my bakelite Смена) was 1987 AgfaOrtho, in the interbellum Darko (still going strong).

This year...

...started dark and drizzling, but what the heck. The original Смена-cassettes scratched my foggy 1973 FP3 beyond repair but look how very reliably the interbellum George Murphy Eagle developer performs!
(And look below how that was made...)

Cathédrale engloutie

There's a lot of building going on in my home town, the big church seems to drown. We can only hope for the best, (knowing that in the past....)

# La Cathédrale Engloutie, famous prélude from Debussy ± 1910, maybe just as old as the developer I used.

1955 смена

"Stalin's Volkswagen" is a very nice, simple camera for "the people". Lubitel-like shutter B - 1/200, Argus-like counter, diaphragm 4,5 - 16.
You need two cassettes because there is no rewind, and you'll have to respool because it's all upside-down (hùh?)
I still had some 1987 Agfaortho 25, rockhard, but the Смена performed very well.
And she is rather elegant!

The explanation for these "strange" upsidedown cassettes: In the USSR it was quite normal to develop at home, everybody did that! You just refilled your cassettes. It's also the reason why the developing times are printed on the film boxes! DIY in optima forma. So hats off for the Товарищы!
