Nice, and with a 1939 Rollei from the first Automat model and obviously in good working order. Now you're talking.

Thanks. The camera came in decent cosmetic condition, but with a stuck shutter, so I had to send it off for repair/CLA. It now works great.

Here's another from the same roll.

These are from my first roll of cheap film in the CLA'd Super A, and testing out lenses. A little PP added too boot (I assume that's allowed?).

That is a really terrific shot. I simply love water reflections. Well captured.

Yep, a nice shot. Made me feel like I was standing on my head.

The perils of shooting an uncoated, hoodless lens at night. Check out all that flare/ghosting!

Ihagee Exa.
Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 5.8cm f2.

How do you find the Biotar? I've always been interested in the lens and came close to buying it a couple of times. I think Takumar 58 f2 took that desire away. For now at least...

Would love to give you a good answer, but this was only the... (checks film) ...4th frame I ever shot with it.

What little I can say is that it seems a bit soft at wide apertures, though that could partly be my fault. The plain ground glass Exakta finders aren't known for being the easiest things to focus with and I may not have been dead on with focusing.

Took Base-Plate off an MX not working and carefully lubricated the mass of cogs and levers with a minute amount of Sewing Machine Oil on a brush-- then carefully wound on an d it worked ! Now it winds on 'sweetly' but the Meter and Flash Synch still not working. I took it out loaded with a short length of outdated year 2000 kodak Gold 200 downrated and use a British 'Weston Master V' meter . I home-processed in C41 and gave a few seconds extra development. Negs scanned with a huge ' GREEN cast but I corrected in FastStone Image Viewer.
