Captain Zorba's boat

Captain Zorba's boat

Greek fishing caique, shot with a 6x6 Zeis Ikon Nettar folding camera from c.1947. It has a simple three-element lens but at small apertures the image quality is outstanding.

So nothing wrong with an old camera or expired film based on this shot. I like it. I have often wondered how the Roman alphabet equivalent of MP makes a B sound in Greek - there being no B equivalent in Greek .

Hi, Paul. I saw your name and thought it must be you but when I looked at your gallery the compositions were so far superior to the stuff I had seen at MFL that I assumed it was someone else. How have you got so far so fast? I need lessons from where you've got them!

I moved away from MFL when Attila announced that linking a picture to his site gave him the right to download it and keep it on the site forever. I don't give unlimited usage licenses away for nothing.

@ Pentaxuser - expired film is a lottery. With colour there may be a colour shift and it loses a certain amount of sensitivity over longer periods depending on how it is stored. I've had 10-year-expired colour film chucked in with a camera that exposed brilliantly given half a stop extra, but Ilford Pan F 50 that I have kept too long produces mottled results which make it useless.
