Hi all,

Something unusual in Moscow, when I was going to make some test shots I found this car near me place.


Which model is it?


Emulsion side correct.


Shot with the film backwards/

Shots taken with Voigtlander Bergheil 10x15, Heliar 18cm, Fotopan F (Polish outdated film from 1977).
Now I know for sure the emulsion side.

The question now is... which model of Chevy is this one?
Thank you for looking.
Alex

Linux works just fine; it keeps my old computers alive and is fast and efficient
I've used several distros, and I moved from Fedora to Mint (ubuntu like) a few years back

XnView, LightZone, Darktable, etc work just fine

Thanks, Julio. The S2 is a lot like handling a Contax II/IIa, as it was the basis for the Nikon design. However it has a Leica type shutter, as Nikon deemed the Zeiss shutter as too expensive to replicate. But it has a better viewfinder than the II/IIa, and lever wind/rewind. Plus, you don't have to deal with an extra cable to use flash.

As for the difference between it and an F, it's mostly in the viewfinder, as now you're looking through the lens, and you don't have that geared focus mechanism to deal with. Otherwise, most everything on the top is in the same place. There is more bulk with the F because of the mirror box, and the size of the lenses. You can get motor drives for both cameras, and 250 exposure backs too.

Very nice series, both in color and B&W. I like the Ghost House and the "not interested" one,

Wonder how the S2 feels as compared to an F. Never saw a Nikon RF in the flesh.

Okay, these are the last of the images. This was a second roll of Ilford Delta 100 I started, then barely squeaked some through on the last day of the month. There are more from the roll to post, but those will come later in other threads.

I did switch labs, as what happened was I didn't get the resolution I requested, plus all the color scans were way over-saturated, and the b&w was sharpened. The lab went out of business a few months afterwards, likely because of the lack of decent work by the employees. This roll was done at my new choice for lab work at Lynchburg Camera. They would have looked better if I had exposed the film correctly, since Delta does not seem to have the same latitude as FP4+.

Taken with the Nikon S2, and W-Nikkor.C 1:3.5/3.5cm

Thank you, Julio and Phil. It seems this sheets have the notch code different and I have been shooting reverse XD.

How cool! I "see" Rich in FB, but wonder about others that parted ways...

I will try to shoot one FP4 and compare, when I started FP4 and HP5 were the only ones I knew.

That's a name from long ago. Good to see he's still vertical. Nice 'Cord, Rich.

Makes sense.

I am a complete ignorant of LF, but this B&W looks fantastic.

For those who don't know Rich was one of the first at Nelsonfoto along with me and a few other's. We jumped Pnet.

They won't let me sign in until I upgrade my OS and browser. Catch 22 my OS will not support the new browser. I am going to update the OS when I can afford it. In the meantime I am here and on FB. Setting up a Linux machine and a Windows machine. The Apple is too old to update but works great for some of the older stuff and I guess I will never get Window's 10 because it is way to intrusive.

Rich Sanders and I hooked up today when he was passing through the area. He was with his lovely wife so we poked around town and had lunch. He even got to see the last train to Clarksville.

Same film, same lens, 3 developed at a time with the AP daylight tank, two elastic bands per sheet, marks are thin and barely not shown after scan.


Violin.
Things are getting better.

Thank you for looking.

I think this website https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/flickr.com.html has given me the solution to my Flickr sign-in problems. Go to the section entitled "Browser Related Problems." Here it is suggested to try forcing a full refresh of the Flickr website OR clearing the temporary cache and cookies on the browser. The first one, full refresh (CTRL+F5) did the trick for me and I was able to sign-in. Try it.
