Here is a portrait I did as part of a Traditional Darkroom demonstration at Brentwood Photographic Club where I took some portraits, processed the film and did some 10×8″ enlargements all in the Club room — I used my 1960′s Pentax Spotmatic loaded with outdated Ilford Delta 100 and the lens was a 135mm f3.5 Carl Zeiss Jena I got for £1-00 at…[Read more]

  This shows just how, in the right hands, classic gear can keep pace with the modern.

I was GIVEN a Minox 35 GT camera but it had the discontinued PX27 5.6 V MERCURY batteries – all dead — but I found a supplier caled ‘Brewsters’ in England and got a replacement PX27 6 v Alkalie battery which worked !! So I have been out in town testing it– I loaded some outdated ‘Truprint’ ( Scotch / 3M ) 400 ASA film an set 200 ASA as it…[Read more]

A bit too ’Minimalist’ for me — needs a figure to add scale.

I have taken that exact SAME tree when I went there with the PENTAX Club of Great Britain !! I used B&W though and a Yellow filter to make the sky come out –yours would be better if you had used a Graduate Grey filter, then the sky would have been darker and the land would have been exposed a little more to show the rocks etc.

A Mannequin outside the Brentwood Fancy Dress shop — I used my 1984 C220 loaded with some 1987 Kodak Vericolor III 220 size and I downrated it and developed a little longer and got some good negs ! I used a little fill-in flash for this.

My boy’s fish tank using the close-focussing of the C220 again on the 1987 Kodak Vericolor III 220 film…[Read more]

I use some old paper I was given — it becomes quite ’Soft’ in Contrast so you need a contrasty negative !! You c an always add some drops of 1% Benzotriazole to the paper developer — it is an ’Anti-Foggant’

Excellent composition with the ’Letter-Box’ format and the Infra-Red suits the subject.

Did you use the ’Scheimpflug’ rule to get the maximum depth of field with your 5×4” camera ?

My latest FREE Camera — a 1930′s Voigtlander ‘Brilliant’ — if you click on the photo it should take you to where all the details are how I got it

Here is a photo taken with it after the first ‘Clean Up’ — I have to get inside the lens to finish the lens cleaning. I took this indoors with camera on tripod, shutter set to ‘B’ and used…[Read more]

I was GIVEN a strange little lens — a 135mm f4.5 FUJITA and I tested it on an old Praktica LB and it is sharp at full aperture — here are some pics to show you — I used outdated FUJI Press 800 film rated at 400 ASA as I was also testing the film too !

Took my LEICAS to the Philippines last August — but I also took my Free Gift Zeiss CONTINA for B&W, 45mm f2.8 Tessar lens was very good — I will show a couple of colour FUJI SUPERIA 200 with LEICA and B&W of the Cebu Images Camera Club with the CONTINA, as I was a Guest Judge for a print competition there — flash was Miranda 630 CD, FP4+…[Read more]
