Reminds me of one of my customers, an aerospace parts producer. They made beautiful milled metal parts, worth $ thousands, 2kg out of 200kg metal. I asked the manager what more high tech parts his plant produced. He just looked around, saying: "chips".

Same colours here, Mickey.
For processing I use the same lab for years now, and have never reason to complain. In this case you might be very right indeed - at close inspection some parts are fine and some parts of the film are rubbish. Still strange for a large lab...
This weekend a Contaflex Super B roll will return, this time a fresh film, end date 2014.
Hopefully next week there's some time to process it (scanning with a Nikon IV ED, some postprocessing in Photoshop - horizon, cropping, nothing serious, which I'm not capable of anyhow...).

P.S. it is a Belgian lab... that might say it all:-) - common joke here - no (real) offense meant...
P.P.S. both camera and lens are beyond any doubt - enough proof here!

Mickey, Nothing wrong with the T90 3,5/35-105 combination, but in this case the Konica Superia made it a 'lomo-like' event for me. In low light environment it somehow reversed colours. Chestnut trees in the fall should not be blue; well, not in my part of the world...
Anyway, I know what to expect from the other films. One positive thing, it inspires me to shoot a lot, and take shots in situations where otherwise I would feel the pain in my purse...

And, yes, I like the 3,5/35-105 very much!

Hi Berndt,
'lomo' is used here to designate the current trend under youngsters (students of all sorts) to experiment with film. Vignetting, false colours (crossing) etc. is really the game in town. Lomo stands for the Russian camera works which was - how shall I put it nicely - not famous for their quality. But it corresponds with the 'zeitgeist'... An old film like the Konica acts a bit like this - although Photoshop did its work. Just google on the term 'lomography' or 'lomo' and you'll see what I meant. Hans

On the Dutch electronic flea market a bunch of old, well preserved film was offered. I couldn't resist... Mainly to use under-used cameras sitting in some box (sounds familiar? :-) IMG_1002 by hanszeiss, on Flickr And it turned out to be a 'lomo' experiment... Photoshop (or Gimp) to the rescue! The pics of Flickr are made using Konica film of some 10 years over time. CanonT90_2012-10-30_28 by hanszeiss, on Flickr Not too bad, only very low in contrast.

As a Zeiss Ikon collector/user with re-leathering important information is lost forever. High end models the information is engraved in the metal but even the Super Ikont lines (and almost all prewarII models) valuable information is imprinted in the original leatherette.
For other brands, the Contax line for example, re-leathering is almost a must...

Well, the Tenax I came into production in Mai 1939. Wartime restricted the production to about 3000 units. Finding one of these is a challenge!
After the war Zeiss Ikon (Opton) decided not to refresh this design, but left it to the East to produce the Tenax. Especially the first batches had quality problems...
So, there is hope!

Never knew that Tenax had a fish-eye lens...
