Altix NB, 1st try...

The Altix is an  interchangeable lens camera of the 50s. Made in former DDR is a capable manual camera, but only has zone focus, not a rangefinder. The NB model has also a selenium cell lightmeter, but after so many years the Selenium failed.
The lens is a Trioplan 50mm/f2.9, famous for its bokeh.

The camera and lens were dismounted and cleaned. Unforntunately, as I found out from the photos, the lens was mounted the correct way but the focusing proved faulty. I now dismantled the lens again and turned the aperture ring upside down, it seems to focus correctly now, I have yet to try it.

some samples from a Kodak Colorplus 200ASA film


I used an f11-f16 aperture here and the focusing was acceptable:


a B/W conversion

The camera has an external lever that cocks the shutter, double exposures are possible


And the famous Trioplan bokeh:







I will try again to see if I fixed the focusing problem.
