Hi from Munich, Germany

p81 · Nov 19, 2020

Hi folks,
I'm Philipp from near Freising, Germany, where the famous Weihenstephaner Wheatbeer comes from. I'm shooting mostly on film, 35mm and medium format. Beside my photography I like to repair all kind of things, at the moment much cameras. The last few were Mamiya RB and its Sekor-lenses, specially the shutters needs some work everytime, Hasselblad Zeiss Shutters and Compur Shutters. My last project was a Rolleiflex 622.
Most of the time I'm shooting with my RB67, Minoltas SRT and XD, and Olympus OM-1, sometimes with a Habla 500 as well. (Am I a hipster? I have lots of old vintage stuff... XD)
Digital I'm using a Canon Powershot G5X Mk. II and a Sony A7 Mk. I, but this is rare.
My workflow is hybrid most of the time, but sometimes I make some prints in the darkroom. I'm planning to ink-print my pictures in the near future.
So, I'm looking forward to read lots of articles now, I'm sure I'll learn lots of news from you.
Feel free to contact me anytime, if you've questions.

Hi Philipp,
Willkommen from another Munich guy And if having vintage stuff qualifies you as a hipster, then we are 2 hipsters in Munich.
I'm a Hassy & Rolleiflex addict, and do digital as well (big chunk of that is to scan film, though)

I hope we can meet in person some day and share some hot or cold beverage.
Feel free to contact me in pm to exchange email & phone numbers. I live in Munich downtown (near Sendlinger Tor).

Tschüss,
Etienne

What?! You live in MUNICH yet you don't use the Agfa cameras made in munich, like the beautiful Agfa Karat IV or the Agfa Ambi-Silette?! You do know that some of the best lenses were made there in your city right? Agfa lenses are underrated... My Karat IV with Solagon has amazing rendering, a splendid lens.

Please try an Agfa, preferibly with Solinar or Solagon lens. And you might drive a BMW as well, to enjoy the true taste of your city's mechanical prowess...

BTW, welcome to the Forum!

But it’s one with the Apotar...
And some Rapids...

Great pictures, particularly the 1st one. Thanks for sharing. What is the link to your emulsive article?

As a side note, I live in Munich and don't have an Agfa... I don't have a Goetschmann projector either (they are made in Munich too), or a BMW for that matter. (What's wrong with my life? )
Don't you guys talk me into getting all this, please

Erm... Munich is a great town, I like it of course... and there are and were lots of great manufacturers, of course! BUT... there are tons of other great cities with great culture and sightseeing stuff. 2013, my wife and I were in SFO, oh my goodness, I immediately started to love this area a lot. After SFO we went to HI and this was again another world and I started to love this as well!
What I want to tell is, that the life is too short to get the good places seen... Munich, or Bavaria is one of so much more. But everyone is invited to come, visiting me... since these lockdowns I know my surroundings much better.

My problem is... there are tons of other good manufacturers, specially for photographic stuff... I have some more, as everyone would need. Nikon, Minolta, Agfa, Habla, Leica (LTM only), Olympus, Rollei, Revue, Mamiya RB and ZE2, Yashica, Minox, and much more. I just think about a Mamiya 645, but have a 645 back for the Habla already... so... difficult to say NO!
Anyway...
Here’s my first article at emulsive.org
https://emulsive.org/articles/5-frames/5-frames-kodak-tri-x-400

I think, I’ll make some more, but I’m not sure if I should.

Please do more. I liked the first picture from the museum. Nice little FE, i also have mine although i prefer the 50/1.8 AI longnose. But the series E is fine too. Fun stuff: FE are my initials.
