1853 W.H.Lewis daguerreotype camera

This week I'm shooting a new replica of a 1/2 plate (4 1/4 x 5 1/2") W.H.Lewis 1853 daguerreotype camera fitted with an original 1861 Holmes, Booth, and Haydens lens.This is made from mahogany with a black leather bellows. It will be used for wet plate collodion work. (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

Going to do some night time shots of the Moon and Stars with my Mamiya RB 67 pro-S. Just picked up the "Fork" cable release & 2x Teleconverter. This should be interesting.

Put some Superia 200 in my OM-2. I'm shooting it at 160 ISO just to see what stuff looks like when it's overexposed by 1/3 stop.

I dusted off my Kowa Six and took it in the field last week. 85mm, Fuji NPS and NPH. All metering with Kowa CDS match-needle finder. Actual prints look much better than my scans. Auto graveyard is in central New York State. Cars from the 1930's to about 1952.

I just finished up a roll in a Brownie Bullet, so this weekend I will be exercising the Brownie Twin 20.
Pleasant development: At a recent camera show I bought a bag of miscellaneous stuff, (for $1), which included eight or ten 620 spools. Score! now I can reroll multiple rolls of 120 instead of only 1 or 2 at a time.
Another cool thing: A local photo lab, possibly as a result of my incessant whining, has begun carrying Efke 100 in 127. Life is good.

F100 because I'm tired of out-of-focus images! This camera has been sitting forever because I prefer a simpler body without all that electronic stuff, but even with a diopter I'm sorry!

I borrowed a friend's Rolleicord and loaded it up with some FP4+ - sunny sixteen and pray, he said.

I just got my Rolleiflex 2.8F (owned since mid`70s) back from Advanced Camera (they do all my CLA and I highly recommend them). Since its Spring I will shoot a lot of 400VC 220 through it.
I also just mounted a new (used) 210mm to my Pacemaker Graphic

What a choice p)!!

RZ67 with Velvia

I shot a kitesurfer in Half Moon Bay on my RZ67 loaded with Velvia 100F and Pro 160S in 120 and 220 backs. I hope the 1/400 shutter was fast enough. Panning on the WLF is a challenge due to image reversal and horizon tilt. Next time I will have my PD prism finder to make things easier to track.

Voigtlander Vito B.

The half of the film which had pictures on turned out great. The other half was totally black. After a while I remembered that I had used that roll of film to test this camera and a Vitomatic II so half of it had been taken out and rewound before being used to test the other one.

One day I hope to run a whole, non previously exposed film through it.


Steve.
