A quick snap of an odd time piece discarded on a wander.

It’s a thermometer

It’s a thermometer

I really should have looked closer at those numbers

[Aaron28]

The Isolette is not even a rangefinder :P it's, how shall I put it....a window with a vague suggestion of what will end up on the film. It just gives the rough angle of view, and you'll have to estimate the distance yourself and get a sharp image using range focus.

some fancy models have a rangefinder to aid with focus versus just a distance scale.............

have removed the top of my yashicaflex hood (thinks its only 4 screws) and cleaned the ground glass and mirror....it got a touch brighter to help with focusing.....always used the magnifying glass that flips up.....got a few things decently but not what folks would call "tack sharp"

yeh thats the allure of the feds having that body style of those more prestigious bodies........not sure if they have the same type of mount

[Aaron28]

Thankfully the Pentax 67 is relatively expensive...after your images I really want to get one myself

ha! right ! thats what got me to get at least one seeing other folks images captured! so ya need to get ya one!

the color is 20 year old slide film and the b&w is fresh which likely makes the biggest difference

would believe prints could get quite large as in the day it easily did 8x10 and digitizing the negative from the get go.....the average tiff file is around 46-47 MB at 1600 dpi

Nice catch, but probably a thermometer.

Couple of shots with the super takumar 28/3.5. Precise is indeed the right word for these lenses. And it has great haptics.

At last, action beagle! Looks like you were running alongside, not panning? Good use of a wide angle.

I'd have been sorely tempted to "rescue" that one...

Yes, and that on a very warm morning as well. Poor dog. I was riding my bike next to her, about 20 km/h, but that'll happen only when we're almost home and she can smell her food 😉

Somebody did! Went back the next day, skip was there, thermometer gone

I have a Welta Reflekta II TLR, which can be disassembled in a similar manner. However, the mirror is surface silver - so any scrubbing will just rub it off, and it has tarnished over the years. Fortuitously, a company sells a replacement mirror nowadays that's a perfect match, and it's not even expensive, I should get one some time.

I developed the first roll of film I put through it yesterday evening sadly it has no Takumar lenses, so I can't post it here. Spotted at least three images I'm happy with, and will do prints the following days.

And yes, the Feds use the same M39 mount and flange distance as Leicas, people tend to buy them to get a cheap but good Industar-61 lens for their original Leica as well.
And aside from the shutter mechanism not feeling perfect, the craftsmanship of the Fed really is not too bad either feels very solid and well-built to me. So I like to think it's not just the looks.

I'm very impressed that you got such a sharp image of her with a manual focus lens, while riding a bike!
Do you have a history in acrobatics perhaps?
