More Acre

Unfortunately,I shot a little less then a roll(6-7 frames) in Acre and didn't eat my weight in Abu Said Khummus so I should return there soon.

Acre Market Fabric salesman

(handheld 1/125 or 1/60 at f4),the city of Acre(Akko)market.

The bronica(one back,two lenses,minolta iiif meter+spot attachment,420ex flash with batteries,speedgrip, no strap,6-10 rolls of film) all jammed into a small crumpler bag(which I usually use for leica\nikon) is very heavy and unwieldy for a day in the field but OK for a small hike. I am guessing a more reasonable use would be with a backpack and a small side pouch for meter\extra lens.And a monopod.

I had to return the loaner back to it's owner today - so the bronica is out of use until KEH responds to the faulty back i sent them and\or I get another one.

I do like the system a lot(I would like the 150 to focus closer with no closeup lens of course).

Ophelia

Далекая Офелия смеялась во сне
Пузатый дрозд, мохнатый олень.
Привычно прошлогодний нарисованный снег
Легко, светло и весело хрустит на зубах.
Нарядная Офелия текла через край
Змеиный мед, малиновый яд.
Резиновый трамвайчик, оцинкованный май
Просроченный билетик на повторный сеанс.

Warm Quadriptych

view enlarged


This is much more of a lens test then a portrait - this is a 3-4 year expired slide film,shot handheld(1/60 or 1/125) with a short telephoto lens - the results are likeable but as a collection and not as singles.

Song played on household objects

Looks better enlarged-click the pic.


I like the light leaks(from a loaned film back).
I misjudged exposure a great deal.

I used the pentax t226(x0.44 macro lens for pentax 6x7) which makes the lens focus from 2.6m to 0.8m (instead of infinity-1.5m),they are tough to find but B&H has them.


Macro Economics Test today.

first bronica pics

The scans are crap,I didnt close the tank prroperly and the pictures are boring - this is just the test roll.
