Those are nice Peter but that Ferris wheel doesn't look like it would be fun to ride.
I have one sheet of film shot in two very different cameras. I've had these cameras for a long time but never used them. I have a Polaroid Land Camera 80A Highlander that has been sitting behind stuff on a shelf for at least 15 years. I finally decided I needed to use it. It took type 30 Polaroid roll film which is about 70mm. I cut down a sheet of 4X5 Kodak T-Max 100 and put it in the camera. I then realized that the remaining part of that sheet will fit my Ensignette No.2 C De Luxe which took 129 film. I had been trying to modify the Ensignette to take 127 film but that hasn't worked out. 129 film was made by Kodak from 1912 to 1951. Now that I see the unimpressive results, I'll probably only use it this once. The lens is a Achromatic meniscus lens that is a bit dirty inside. I was unable to get it opened to clean it. I believe the camera is over 100 years old at this point, the lens retaining rings are seized up pretty good. These shots were taken in October, I finally got around to doing something with them.
This first one is with the Polaroid 80A. This truck had been sitting in this same spot, unmoved, since I moved into my neighborhood in 1997. I used to see the young man that owned it just sitting in it smoking every now and then. He moved out a long time ago and his mother continued living in the house until a few years ago. I was surprised to see the truck still there after the house was sold to someone else. I asked the guy that bought it and he said he negotiated the truck into the deal. About two weeks ago I was walking Quincy by and there was someone looking under the hood. Now it's gone, so I guess he sold it. 1975 Ford F150 with a Mac Truck hood ornament.
