(Cross-post from "

Lets see those ''film'' shots") Here are three from the Zeiss Nettar 517/2 - a folding camera from the early 50'ies with a 105mm F6.3 lens taking 6x9 cm images on 120 film.

The first one is of a rape field against setting sun (Denmark). Pretty cliché, I know, but I was not sure how this would work out. The camera has no in-built metering. I used a Gossen Lunasix handheld meter, but didn't quite know what to meter ... Seems to have worked out OK. Ilford HP5+. Wide open (if F6.3 can be called "wide open") and 1/75 sec., I think. Yellow filter.

The second one from the same camera from Luster fiord in Norway. I tried to focus on the foreground. Focussing is a bit trial and error, as there is no distance meter either, only a distance scale. Ilford FP+. 1/75 sec. @ F8.0 and yellow filter.

The third one is a small waterfall near Luster fiord in Norway (Krokenfossen) with water spray and mist against the sun and sunlit flowers in the foreground. Ilford FP+. 1/75 sec. @ F11.0 and yellow filter. A bit abstract, but I like this one particularly well. Again also here exposure and distance metering was a bit hit or miss.

Beautiful portrait. Maybe it's the intense look....but she reminds me of sword wielding Michonne (Danai Gurira) from the series the Walking Dead. Well done.

It seems a while since your last post here, Rense. Nice shots and good to see your camera in action.

Test photos from a recently purchased Pentax 67. These with the 100mm f4. Trying to get the feel for this camera!

PENTAX 67II + 105mm f2.4, Kodak Ektar 100.
From my first roll, color is off after scanning with Epson v500, and finally able to adjust the color in post to like the print.

Very nice. The last pose is my favorite, like how she is curving along with the sculpture.

Don't mean to spam this entire thread with my entire role of film. kodak portra 400 I believe! I have 1/2 a role still unused in my camera. Did not shoot as much as what I thought I would but love the shots I took.
