Enna-Werk München

Childhood habit...

Prosecco and nice conversation at Bittner's; Aachener Printen, the Retina gets a minor nervous breakdown, glamour at the Königsallee and then it starts to rain. In the tram-car a man looks very nervous, I think he's Polish. When a Schaffner gets in, we both get out.
He's not the only one without a ticket. ;)

1938 Kodak/Nagel Retina on RolleiRetro400S

The Taming of the Shrew

Getting there with a scourer, some felt, foam plastic, glue, hope. The 1950 Agifold has very interesting features. An extinction-meter, non-coupled rangefinder and that 90mm 4,5 AGI Anastigmat. Not to mention the way she opens! Probably built by a blacksmith: huge springs and connecting-rods all over the place. (PS: felt and foam are to "slow down" the film to keep it taut.)

2nd Advent

It starts to rain, and suddenly I find myself in the church of Overasselt. All 1680 inhabitants seem to be there and they sing Gregorian!




When we step out of this time-machine it still rains, a short visit to the remains of the medieval Antonius-church and then, at home, the Agifold still shows the same problems: scratches and out-of-focus.

620 HPS again

Well, next summer, maybe. It's 50ASA at the most, needs a lòt of light and contrast. But the information is there, as you can see in the blow-up. (Kodak Duo 6-20 Tessar)
Only 8 minutes (iso 11,5 normal) in Rodinal 1:50

Stereography

This is the almost perfect subject for 3D: objects at all distances. As I said before: it's not art, but the FUN...! (And the weather was once again great, today)
The RetroAgfa400 is not exactly 400, though. (Nag nag nag...)

620 Film

This is: pre-1968 Ilford HPS 800ASA. Hùh?! With two problems: the adhesive tape dried out, so the film folded itself in the camera. Remedy: sellotape in the darkroom. Second: the seller said: "some background fog" and how right he was... Remedy: I will overexpose and underdevelop the next film (I have also still some very old Tetenal Anti Fog! Let's try that also). I'll keep you informed.
