Altix Nb fixed, some more.

Here are some more samples from the Altix Nb and the Trioplan 50mm/f2.9 that I fixed.

 Film was a Kodak Colorplus 200 ASA and played a bit with the double exposures.

 

 

Altix Nb, fixed

After I fixed the lens focussing problem I put a film and started shooting

 The selenium light meter is not working, I exposed using the sunny 16 rule.

Film was a Kodak Colorplus 200 ASA

I used the separate shutter lever for double exposures

 at close distance

 and the f2.8 aperture for the famous bokeh

 not bad stopped down

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.

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.

Altix NB from DDR

I found this viewfinder camera dripping in the rain and paid 5 euros. The shutter blades are not working. It has a light meter and interchangeable lenses. My camera has the famous for its bokeh Trioplan lens, with a focal length of 50mm and f2.8

I have put the Trioplan in front of the EOS and got some close up pictures - it won't focus at infinity with the EOS - but I am not impressed.
