Something for the weekend? 21 Feb

Another pinhole test sample. I've made four cams since New Year so I think I'll stop now and start shooting them.

Pretty darn good. Does this one take 120?

Those tree branches came out great for a pinhole camera! Very nice.

Here are some aquatic plants and orchids in the Conservatory of Flowers.

The Paradox is 35mm, named after its Adox origins as a film magazine for the Adox 300.

Happy weekend all,

This one was from a photo walk I took with Miguel last weekend in Philly. It was a good excuse to run some Tri-X through the "Jeff Beck" Holga.

Wow! I don't have anything to contribute (yet) but I can't hold back posting anyhow: you guys rock! I love every contribution so far. The 35mm pinhole is great, Sandeha, your waterplants' fractal look makes every mathematician's heart beat faster ;), grit, your coastal photos make me wish I was there, Bryan, the Holga shot is very moody and atmospheric, Jeff (I still crack up over the "Jeff Beck" naming of the Holga :) ), your street style is brilliant, Miguel, and your still life shot is very interesting despite the very simple forms, Kai. Great stuff, you guys are the best. :)

Great thread as always. Grit, your DOF shots are mesmerizing.

Here is a tiny print I made using 35mm negatives and salted paper. It's a contact print, so about the size of a business card. I don't remember the exact brand of paper I used, but some hot press watercolor, maybe 140#. I like the tiny salt print because the paper (even smooth paper like this) becomes a real part of the viewing experience. You have to get pretty close in on this to enjoy the detail and by then you are noticing the fibers and texture of the paper. I'll definitely be making more of these. Maybe we should have a tiny print exchange.

Fabulous looking print!

A bit more pinhole from the BB#7, this time using up a roll of Rollei Pan 25 that had been sitting for far too long in another film holder.

I'm a little late for the party but here're my contributions. All shot with the Konica C35 EF3 on Fomapan 100 (dev'ed in Caffenol-C-H (RS)).

A quick review of the Konica C35 EF3: The metering is very good and it seems to cope really well with very difficult lighting situations. The lens surpasses my expectations. Ok, the corner sharpness is not perfect, however, it performs visibly better than the Konica C35 AF2 (that's the 5 element lens vs. the 4 element lens). Despite some tradeoffs in terms of corner sharpness, the lens coating is magnificent. I don't have a lens hood for the camera but even on shots with the sun from the front or very very strong reflections of the sun in the water, there's hardly any flaring and the contrast stays excellent. This and the fact that the zone focussing (1m, 1.5m, 3m, and infinity) works really well (I have two misses in terms of focus in ~30 exposures) make this camera a superb travel camera. It's small, light and is easy to use and uses widely available batteries (AA). The only flaws that I saw after this first roll of film are that the flash is not particularly bright (could be a problem with my copy) and the viewfinder could be clearer (also probably an issue of my copy) and bigger. Also, it seems to me that the camera tries to keep the aperture as wide open as possible even in bright conditions. That's rather irritating. Still, due to the very small form factor you can expect to easily get 38 exposures out of a 36 exp. film (very likely 39 if you're used to loading it carefully).

I compared the pictures to those of my Olympus 35RC because it has a 42mm E.Zuiko (which also is a 5 element in 4 groups lens) and because both cameras are almost equally small (though the Oly is a real rangefinder while the EF3 isn't and on the other hand the EF3 has a flash and has to store two AA batteries while the Oly only has a button cell sized battery). It's a clear win for the 35RC due to it's glorious lens which is sharp all the way from the middle to every corner. However, the Konica C35 EF3 is a very fun camera to shoot with and the lens coating is superb. I'm planning on taking it to Berlin next month to see how it works in the city.
