Trying to find my range
I don't often stop by to share anything on RFF since flickr is where I spend most of my time, but I thought I'd share the photos I took today. I have two Graflex Graphic 35 cameras. One has a f3.5 50mm lens and the other has an f2.8 50mm lens.
I'd shot a test roll with the 3.5 and today I finally told myself I was going to shoot a test roll with the 2.8.
Both of these cameras take very nice photos in my opinion. The lens suffers from light haze (flare I guess) but in both cases, my rangefinders aren't that far off and due to the slow shutter speeds, you're shooting at f8 or tighter when outdoors during the day anyway.
I just wanted to drop the hint to anybody that loves collecting old (and weird) cameras. I love this camera with it's push button rangefinder and the goofy front wing shutter release. I need to use it more often!
Without further ado: http://www.flickr.com/photos/luketrash/tags/dayoff/show/
You can obviously view the images one by one in a larger size. I was using HP5+ and developed it in HC110, dilution B.
Enjoy!

Luketrash,
This series looks fine. It looks like January around here too. I like shooting with the old and sometimes obscure cameras. Many of them do well with their uncomplicated lenses as your pictures show. I especially liked the picture with the flower pots lined up.
