My second Hassie-film

[Peter S.]

Dear fellow camera collectors,

I finally found some time to scan the second film. I exposed two
until I found the time to send the film to the lab, well, I had to
find a lab processing the 120 film, but I found one...

I spoiled three or four exposures, but the rest came out pretty
good. I had a peek under a microscope at work - the detail is
incredible... but I don't got the means to get this into the digital
realm.

Anyway, my first shot had been taken around the time of sunset
on a stormy evening.



I walked a few meters, and got this view over the lake. I hope the
detail of the lake is OK - it looks terrible here at work, but it is
pretty OK on my monitor at home.



On the following morning the storm had gone away, and the lake
was giving the impression of a mirror. Some haze let it look like
being infinite.



Here's one I took from the ferry when driving home from work.
Maybe a day or two later.



And another morning shot (I have to walk the dog each morning,
and I can go to the shoreline)



Finally I would like to show You a night shot. It was taken with the
5.6/250 Sonnar on a night with full moon. It is the view from my
balcony. The exposure was a bit more than 5 minutes at f/8.



This is the one that suffers the most from my poor scanning
technology - but I like the slide.

Best regards & Thanks for Looking
Best regards

PS: hints and critique is as always very welcomed.

Well, those all worked very well Peter. I liked the long night-times shot, but there was probably going to be noise from a shot like that anyway. What are the black dots in a line out at sea?

Regards - John

Dear John,

in picture No. 5 there is a flock of coots. Those are very common here.

Best regards

Ah, gotta love that MF goodness

I've had my hassie for quite some time now and I still always screw up at least one frame!

[Peter S.]

Dear fellow camera collectors, dear friends,

I found out one reason that screwed most likely the biggest part of the bunch:
The shutter of my 4/50 Distagon stuck. Silly me, that I didn't notice this until one shot I was
shure I did operate the camera correctly turned out to be black!
Well, I got it to the repair shop - and he told me, it were no big problem to fix it - but it would
cost me 250$ - I agreed, as a new, used Distagon would be more expensive - and a fixed one
would serve me well for the next few years.

But, jmi, I don't mind of frames were screwed - as long as there are enough good ones coming
out of a roll. I think, I'll try to get a bunch of Kodak E100G 120 film next week. I tested it in 135
format. And I found that it was the best film I used so far w.r.t. accuracy of color.

Best regards
Peter

Really nice pictures.
The Hasselblad might yet make a name for itself.
