My new Clack camera 1954-65

The Clack camera was manufactured by Agfa 1954-65. Earlier models had a metal body, later ones were made of plastic. This one is a plastic model from the 60´s and so beautiful!

It is a simple, boxlike camera, with a single-element 95mm meniscus lens with built-in close-up lens and yellow filter. It takes 6×9 cm pictures on 120 film.

Aperture f/11 and f/12.5
Shutter about 1/30 plus B
Zone focusing with two steps: 1-3m (3-10 feet) with a built-in close-up lens.
3m (10 feet)-infinity with just an aperture ring between the lens and the film.

The Clack is a light viewfinder camera. It works great with ISO 50 slide films like Velvia, so use it while you can still get that film. Black and white ISO 50 films, and overexposing 100 speed color negative by one stop ought to be fine.

Will be fun to try out my new little beauty!

Box filled with negatives and music with Jenny Woo

Took out a box filled with negatives folders and photos from the 90's. Old negativ that I have not looked at in 10 years.
The first thing that comes is the smell, even a cat can not stop to smell and it´s a scent that makes me so happy.

Now when I started to shoot more film again, I will not have this mess.
I need to organize all the negatives from the start. And this weekend I will start scanning some of the 90´s music photos.

Energy boost of pictures

Next week I'll get an energy boost of pictures, will go on many exhibitions in Stockholm. Saw in the subway ad, the exhibition with Nick Brandt at Fotografiska.
And it is the last week at Galleri Kontrast (Hornsgatan 8) "Fotosidan Masters 2016" pictures in the categories "Portrait", "Nature" and "Snapshots". Can't-miss that.

Even if the photo exhibitions often makes me sad. It's a reminder that I can not afford to spend more time with the thing that I love - taking pictures.

Testing Brownie Cresta and music with Hocico

Today I have test photograph with the Brownie Cresta camera and I got help from my son Calvin. Got to be my model.
30 degrees and sunny out today so we took a long walk. The photos I now put up is with my Fuji X-Pro1 camera that I also had with me. The film roll should I develop next week.

Close up 4-7 FT.. this is the only thing that you can choose when it comes to settings. So are curious to see what pictures I will get on Calvin.

Vintage cars with my Agfa cameras

I had seen a sign that there would be an event with classic cars yesterday. And I could not go there when I'm still don't feel so good.
So I went to the road with a few cameras to test them. Took a roll of film with Optima 1A and a roll with my new Agfa Super Silette - L. Realized pretty soon that it was a bit of a nightmare ..

One minute it was clouds and next full sunshine and strong cold winds.  A bit hard when the cameras are completely manual and you have set the meter distance. Much to think about and then the high speed of the cars. Will be happy if some image has focus at the right place.

Luckily, I also took with me my Fujifilm X-Pro1 to document. So the pictures I posted are with my digital camera.

and some inspiration clip

I will do street photography this week with my cameras

Gossen Lunasix 3 - 1966

Took out my old light meter, Gossen Lunasix 3 from 1966. It is a must when using cameras that do not have any light meter. I got it when I was working as a photo assistant when I was a teenager. Luckily, I found new batteries online that fits.
Now I just have to remember how it works again, haven't used it in probably 10 years.

Super Silette L from 1958

My new camera: Agfa - Super Silette L.
It is a 35mm film rangefinder camera made by Agfa and introduced in 1958. It belongs to the long lasting Silette series.

It was new model Agfa Super Silette with flat top housing. It has coupled rangefinder and uncoupled Selenium cell lightmeter. Lens is Agfa Color-Solinar 50mm f/2.8 in Synchro-Compur shutter.

I love that the light meter still works and the sound when taking a picture. I want to test it as soon as possible with film. Thanks Werner for the camera!
