I have: a baby Speed Graphic. A box of mid-90s 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 sheet film. Some appropriately sized film holders. A mid '50s or '60s Nikor adapter for developing smaller sized sheet films in their 120 tanks.

What does that mean? Night time long exposures, of course!

"Baby" Pacemaker Speed Graphic.
Kodak Ektar 101mm f4.5.
Expired Ilford FP4 sheet film.

I wondered where that Henry Moore decamped to. You must have a warehouse for all those cameras.

Just very little free shelf space.

A couple shots crossposted from the film shooters challenge group ( Film Shooter Challenge - PentaxForums.com ). This month I'm shooting with my Nikkormat FTN, Nikkor-H 50mm ƒ2, and Tri-X:

A fun personal challenge that I made for myself ... I found a Zeiss Ikon Contessa S-310 with case at a rummage sale for 5€. Gambled and sure enough at home it worked with new batteries ... only the battery check light won't work. I loaded it with Kentmere 100 and went to city center on Sunday afternoon. I finished the roll with Caffenol CH and then scanned with Epson V600. Too much fun.

Possibly caused by the difference between mercury vs. non-mercury batteries?

Maybe ... the manual says that it takes 1.5 volt 625's ... four of them in total, but only two will make it shoot.

If you fill the two battery slots on the bottom of the holder, it works. That's what I did with the images above.

I tried everything with four installed, but still no battery check light. No biggie ... Cheers, J

Elek says that the two slots are in parallel, so things should be fine. It looks to be a fine little camera. Good work (as always

).

Two photos from Vienna in 1990. Taken with LX and SMC Pentax Shift 3.5/28mm on Tmax 100 film (developed in ID-11 1+1). The first one is one of the Art Nouveau stations on the urban railway network designed by architect Otto Wagner and opened in 1898. The second is the Danube canal with the old railway line (now converted to underground) on the left bank.
