Follow-up photo from yesterday. "Pixel peeking" raising to 81% (100% eliminated the leaf detail from the frame) in Photoshop. Been an interesting experiment with the 1926 vintage Kodak camera. Good news is that it works and no light leaks in bellows or elsewhere. Also interesting to be limited to 1/50 and 1/25 shutter speeds (loaded ISO 400 film for that reason alone) and guessing at the aperture with numbered opening 1, 2, 3, and 4. and guessing the distance up to 100 ft plus infinity on the scale. The real issue as shown in the photo is the limitation of the 100 year old glass as there is no detail in the leaves, straight lines or elsewhere in the photo that even the huge 6mmx9mm negative (8 shots on a roll of 120) could compensate for. Probably the last roll I will run through it...unless have a novelty event sometime that could take beyond a conversational prop. It does get me thinking about medium format 120 film though. While the 6/7's are heavy and bulky, have you seen how the prices have dropped on the 6/6 Hasselblad's and Bronica's, or the even cheaper "entry" 645 Mamiya and Pentax? TEMPTING!
