Terrific, J. I've not tried holding the filter in front, but have the first attempt in a partially finished Ikonta. 'Hope it does this well. Tones seem quite rich & w/ the skies dominated by cloud, no sense of the bare sky being overly darkened. 'Seems like it just worked beautifully.
 
Had to look up what that camera is - hadn't heard of it before. Better looking than a Holga!
Anyway, love the photo. The sky, the weathered wood, and the slight softness. Great composition too. And, there's nothing wrong with holding a filter over the lens - just try to eliminate reflections.
I love my Holga's, so I can see you with this camera.
 
Thanks for your kind comments. If you've never heard of the Film Photography Project (www.filmphotographyproject.com), then you are missing out on an absolutely super bunch of film shooting folks! Mike Raso sells the Debonair for $20.00 plus shipping including a roll of film. I had to sand down the film gate on mine as it was scratching the daylights out of my film, but now it does a great job. It even has a hot shoe for a flash unit. I have a roll to develop that I just finished with it. Tried my hand at some double exposures for the first time and can't wait to see how they come out.

My prints for these images aren't quite as contrasty as the neg scans, but they're close. I'm a novice in the darkroom so I'm sure there's more to be pulled out of these negatives when I have time.
