Impressive results with the Bessa I. Especially the first shot.
Interesting colors with a E-6 film processed in C-41. I thought they would be way off. Looking forward to your video of the tri-colour gum process!

Beautiful!
+1 from me too! You dug into those shadows very nicely. The old version of Tri-X was my first serious B&W film and that was when all I had was a 35mm SLR I got from the Military PX .Thank you Greg!

I don't think my Pentax 6X7 could do much better than that old girl. Lovely tones. I do know one thing for certain and that is your Vollenda would fit in my jacket pocket and my Pentax 6X7 won't.
Hey John, nice images.Okay, so I cheated a little by throwing my Medalist into this "folding camera" thread, but its lens does retract towards its body at least. I'll make up for that today with a REAL folding camera. I went out yesterday to test the focus on a just repair Medalist and decided to give my vintage Kodak Monitor Six-20 some long overdue exercise. Folks here might not believe this, but this lens is as good, if not better, than the f2.8 Xenotar on my Rolleiflex. Here are a couple of shots from it.
Yes, I remember seeing that one and it's absolutely beautiful. My shots were the best I could do this time of year in Michigan. Everything is pretty dull right now until things start greening up. Kodak did a really great job on lens design and choice of materials back in the 30's to the 60's. Even some of their cheaper camera lenses were pretty darn good, but their top-of-the-line Ektar and Anastigmat "Special" lenses were supreme. I'm going to do that 13X19 print after dinner tonight. I just might make several prints. I'll do one as a straight print, one as a real tight crop and one from my 2.8 Rollei that I shot at the same exact time. Curious to compare the results from those. I'll post them probably sometime tomorrow.Hey John, nice images.
Yes, the Kodak Anastigmat Special lenses are absolutely superb. I have a Special Six-20 with the Special lens, and it performs as well as any other 6x6 or 6x9 lens I have available to me. Here's a good example of its performance.
Paul,
Seeing this photo and knowing the Volenda 620 that took it got me thinking that I had a Volenda 620 tucked away in my collection somewhere. After digging around, I found the camera I was thinking of. It turns out that it was not a Volenda 620 at all, but a Wirgin Auta 120 dual format camera. I'm posting pictures of it and I think you'll see why I thought I had a Volenda 620 tucked away. Also, I've done searches all over, and I can't find an example of the Wirgin Auta with this lens and shutter combination. I do know that Wirgin cameras often had many different versions of the same model of cameras, but this one puzzles me. Anyone here ever see the Auta with the lens/shutter combo Kodak Anistigmat 105 cm f4.5 in Cumpur with flash sync?
