Perle_further_tests_July2021

Apparently, many of my favourite cameras are originally from Dresden, Germany (thanks for pointing that out, @andre30 !), and I've become a bit obsessed with that fact... Here's another batch of test shots from a mid-Thirties Welta Perle – I think I've figured out the best film for this handsome relic.

    Wow. I thought at first that water was spraying out of the stairs. Interesting how that wild grass is growing. That camera obviously works well.

    @neufotomacher Thanks! The struts extending the bellows are still a bit wonky and need some help, but once I've fixed that, it's almost as good as new.

    Bellows? Hope you never have light leaks. It does make nice images.

    @neufotomacher Leaks found and patched! (I've learnt my lessons with these old machines.)
