TV program "So much better" Magnus Carlsson from Weeping Willows

Sometimes you get surprised. Yesterday I saw my picture on television. TV program "So much better" on prime time. This week's program was about Magnus Carlsson from the Weeping Willows. Magnus has one of the best voices.

However, a bit sad that they did not ask if they are allowed to use my picture and with no name.

This day I dedicate to my old negatives and scan some more of my treasures from 90´s and the theme is music!

Pics with my Nikon F2 in the 90´s

Vredeborch Slomexa camera and music with Rixe

My new little photo bargain. Only problem is that I didn't managed to put in a roll of film, the back cover is attached. But I will not give up so easily.

The Slomexa is a sheet metal box camera made in Germany by Vredeborch 1950. It takes 6x9cm pictures on 120 film. It features a knob below the 11cm/f16 meniscus lens which adds a yellow filter.

This camera is a name version of Vrede Box Standard Menis.

Bilora Stahl-Box camera and music with Severe Illusion

My new beauty - a Stahl-Box camera.

Bilora is a German camera maker - Kürbi & Niggeloh, Radevormwald (founded 1909, with Camera production from 1935)
The Stahl-Box is one of the "boxes" that they build after 1945 (Nachkriegs boxen) 1952.

This box camera was constructed of metal with an art deco etched face plate. It was capable of capturing 6 x 9 cm exposures on no. 120 roll film. It was fitted with a fixed focus Meniscus lens and a simple B & M shutter.

I will try it with a film roll next weekend and post the pictures here later on.

Odenlab and music with DM

Sometimes the impossible happens.. I went and pick up a film from my lab "Odenlab".
A roll of film which technically would be completely black but I push this film +2. The man in the lab said "no - we are not push colorfilm, there is no use" but I did not give up and the magic did happen.
