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

Lomo LC-A, compact and fast

This is a small compact Soviet camera. It has a 32mm lens, that is wide at f2.8, and an automatic exposure with a lever set to A. If the lever is set to other apertures it defaults to flash or manual exposure.

 

 There is a another lever to the left that selects the distance, 0.8, 1.5, 3 meters and infinity. Very simple! The automatic exposure system is very accurate and can easily take night pictures with the shutter open for some minutes! but there is no provision for an extension cord.

 

 I took some pictures with a roll of kodak Colorplus 200, it proved that there is a light leak somewhere I must take care of.. Pictures are looking normal to me, I see no Lomo effect, other than the light leak.

 

Jashica J, some more...

Here are some more pictures taken with the Yashica J. The lens is sharp, and the shutter speeds are adequate for daylight pictures. The film used was a Kodak BW 400 CN.

 There are no parallax marks in the viewfinder so the framing for the close up shots is off!

Canon EOS Rebel S (EOS 1000F)

I found the camera for 10 euros. The shutter curtain is broken, so the camera does not work. It had the Canon EF 35-80mm lens that can be modified for macro if the front lens element is removed.

 These were taken with the 35-80mm that had the front element removed

Yashica J, simple operation - quality pictures

The Yashica J is a simple rangefinder camera. Shutter speeds are only 1/25, 1/50 1/100, 1/300 plus B.
Maximum aperture is f 2.8. Focusing is done with a rangefinder in the viewfinder.

 I loaded a Kodak CN400BW film.
Here are some samples
