Introducing Bob

[kmack]

1937 Zeiss Ikon 510/Bob f6.3 75mm Nettar-Anastigmat lens.

It's a 120 folder that shoots a 4.5 x 6 cm negative. Speeds 25,50,100,125,B and T with an f stop range from f6.3 to f22. It has a red dot a little below f11 and another just above the 6m marking on the lens. Just keep everything on the red dots and vary the speed and you got a small MF point and shoot.

I picked this up close to a year ago, and only this week was I able to give it a good cleaning and since it was a beautiful day outside I took Bob out for a spin around Culler Lake in town. The film was Fuji Acros 100 shot at 80 and developed in Clayton F76+.


Test photos 1 and 2 are using the hyper focal settings, photo 3 is wide open at 1/125. No sharpening.

From old gear, new light. Very nice, kmack. Are you printing any of these up?

Not for a quite a while. No enlarger, no darkroom. Scan is the best I can do for the time being.

Definitely get thee to a decent printer (online or "in the vicinity"). I like the tonality I'm seeing, even given the vagaries of the Web.

Thanks, I am really impressed with how the Acros, the F76+ and the old uncoated lens worked together.
