So I found this Camera from some box and wanted to know if it actually works. This is what one in a good condition would look like.
Mine was not in that good shape. The camera was produced between 1933-1939, so crazy to think how old it is - over 80 years old camera. Mine was missing some red covers from the back. So had to fix it.
But the shutter seemed to work, and I bought this film -
that was the cheapest one - Fomapan classic 100 - 5€.
Red plastic from a bottle. 😁
Put on the camera with hot glue 😁
Now ready to load the film.
Ok, all the photos were taken in January, and I don't remember taking most of them, quite some surprises. I actually forgot about the film for a while and now finally took it to a place to develop it, since I haven't yet learned how to do it myself. This cost 5.5€. Not bad. So total of 10.5€ for how many photos? Did the camera work?
Guess what, it did. See for yourself, what came out of this old ass camera. 11 photos came out of 16 that were possible to take. I messed up some probably, since the camera is not the easiest to use.
Slowly remembering some things. But have no idea, where or when this one below was taken. 😀
When taking the photos I had also no idea how much exactly would fit in the frame, since the viewfinder was kinda hard to use and probably not very accurate, but this chimney almost fits in.
I remember this one, in the middle there was nice golden sun,
too bad the film was black and white 😀
And some extra space on the film or I just didn't take enough photos, who knows. Much dust since not perfect conditions for scanning and I rushed.
Also for scanning the film I used some weird DIY method with a camera, smartphone white screen and glass sheet and boxes. Can you get more ghetto? but it worked, so all good 😃.
Thanks for your attention and time! 🙂
