This is my favorite early folding camera design in the 6x9 format. The 1930's version of this was only available in black enamel but was offered with a variety of lenses. I think that very few of these were made after WWII but in the 1950's Voigtlander began making the Bessa I and then the Bessa II rangefinders both of which were only available in chrome finish and they lost that cool 1930's Deco shape.....at any rate, this particular example came from a Dutch camera dealer and is in mint condition. Even though it has a top of the line Heliar lens these images were a little soft. I wonder if the focus can be adjusted...
Portra 800 is definitely the way to go with this technique. I will be getting a ND filter for the color side for brighter days and that should help as well....I finally tracked down the pesky light leaks too I think. They are coming in at the film counter holes. Normally there is a little peg on the camera back that goes into the hole and helps align the camera back and the body and I think without it there plugging up the holes that is letting in some light. So little by little I am getting there. On the next roll I will use a tripod and see if I can get more accurate registration.

Well, gaffer's tape doesn't do well in high humidity I guess. I taped this camera up the night before and I thought I had done a good job. But apparently not. Blue painter's tape followed by a quick strip of black gaffer's tape will be my next try. Also, I snapped two shots on the redscale side for these, hence the double images on some. I think the 800 will be my go to film on the next try instead.

It's a bird! ... No, it's a plane! ... Hey wait, is that a dog? Uh-huh, looks like it is one jumping (or flying) in the air! And in this fancy moment, why not take a Lomograph? Make it redscale, too! (POTD 04.16.12)
The Trolley Museum at Shelburne Falls isn't too much to see but the old trains they have around and the little trolley car are fun....also scenes from the Bridge of Flowers which is covered in dahlias right now.
