photo from week 361 - Voigtlander VF 101

Not Vital @ YSP
Another indoor shot, but this time there was just about enough light to get a reasonable exposure.

The slowest shutter speed is 1/30th sec, and this indoor shot is under-exposed as a result.

This is a very compact 35mm camera with a coupled rangefinder and semi-automatic exposure system.

photo from week 360 - Contax IIa

London Bound
I didn't have long to set this one up as I spotted the London bound train approaching, I think the shutter speed was 1/125th and the aperture f8.

Despite the fast film, I needed to use a slowish shutter speed and wide aperture for this indoor shot

Week 360 - Contax IIa

Contax IIa
This precision post-war rangefinder camera belonged to my dad, it has the f2 50mm Sonnar. I've loaded it with Rollei Retro 400S black and white negative film.

Week 359 - Ferrania IBIS 44

Ferrania IBIS 44
This is a simple 127 camera, taking 12 square shots per roll. Cosmetically it isn't in very good condition, and she shutter only works on 1/100th and "B", the 1/50th setting also acts as "B". There are two apertures, and a focussing scale, so it's not the very simplest of models.
I've loaded it with a roll of Vera Pan ISO 100 black and white negative film.
