Hapo 66E

[Michael Fraley]

I got back the first roll from a Baldo Hapo 66E, purchased recently from certo6. There were flare marks on one corner of several frames at the beginning of the roll. Since the film edge shows the flare outside of the image area, it's not coming from the bellows. I think it's 'operator error', fumbling with the film roll to load it. The Hapo runs film right-to-left, and the take-up spool is somewhat hard to get at, so I struggled a bit. But I do like the lens, and the camera is very attractive. Here's a few pictures from it. This is Fuji Acros 100 film. I'm trying a color roll next...
