There was a roll of partially exposed Kodak Verichrome Pan film in this camera. I developed it and here is the best out of three images:
To me that sounds impossible.
Thank you for the tip.
Nice image. The light is beautiful. What was the time of the day? You obviously did not have a lot of light if you shot 1/25s, f11 at EI400.
Can you give data about how and with what you developed? I have a thread going on in the darkroom group about developing the decade old latent image.
I guess it was cheaper for Voigtländer to supply the short and bent shape cable
I unscrewed and screwed back that cable in various Voigtländer folders, including different generations of Bessa.
It is comical how nobody would take out the engine of their car and turn it around when a problem occures but assume in a pinch that Voigtländer employed idiots incapable of mounting the shutter in the right position.
I guarantee you can screw in the cable, it needs a bit of fiddling indeed.
Try to have the struts not completly erected, also try to have the lever pressed/unpressed so it gets out of the way. RTFM would also not be wrong, V. explains what you have to do.
L.E.: Here you go: https://cameramanuals.org/voigtlander_pdf/voigtlander_bessa-optical-finder.pdf Second picture in that manual. You can clearly see how the socket for the cable is fully accessible when the struts are not completly erected. They right strut advances "over" the hole only when locked in place. Until then you can screw in any cable (with the correct thread, it escapes me at the moment how this thread is called) and then either bend it upwards or thread it under/behind the struth.
I sacrificed a half-broken cable release to clarify the matter.I guarantee you can screw in the cable, it needs a bit of fiddling indeed.
You have to go the other way with it. The cable should come to the front of the camera, or up.
None of these configurations work. The strut is right in front of the cable release connector so whichever way I place the cable it would still be bent, broken and nonfunctional.The cable should come to the front of the camera, or up
Old books about photography often suggested to use two parts of the hand as pliers, in order to avoid shakes while the shutter is triggered. The most frequent suggestion was to use thumb and index in opposition.
This may sound obvious to some degree, but the only way to truly understand how effective it is in balancing the forces applied to the camera and avoid shaking/tilting is to try it out yourself. Simple but tremendously effective.
I use this trick all of the times with 6x9 Super Ikontas, which have a pretty stiff shutter release button, which also happens to be placed on the left side of the camera body (contrary to today standards).
It is a collectors' item not a user camera.
Of course, the self timer is the one part of an otherwise perfectly working shutter that will lock up and require disassembly.
Also, the two-speed shutter on this example probably doesn't have one [self timer].
Great tip. I prefer to use a cable release but the self-timer would work equally well when you forget to take one.I found camera shake can be reduced by using a camera's self-timer.
Thank you Donald. I was just lucky.Looks like you're steadier than you thought.
