Hi all, i think this little camera is a wonderful machine, for landscape photography: here you have some shots I made last August

this is the merging of two shots, I made it with "Calico"

Gran San Bernardo

Very very nice! Any shooting information on how you achieved such results?
Lens, film, etc?

Thank you, the lens is the Novar Anastigmat 75mm f4.5 (a triplet ), and the film is Kodak Portra 160 VC, I don't remember the settings, but it was probably something like f5.6 for the cloudy shot, and f11, or f16 for the sunny ones

Thanks for posting these. I have three rolls of 6x9 on Provia that I took with a Nettar 515/2 this summer in Zion, Bryce, and Grand Canyon National Parks, but no way of scanning them at this moment. Great fun.

Very nice images !

How did you do the digitizing ? Scanner ?

Did you use a UV-filter ? I saw mountains so that's always one of the first thoughts.

I used an Epson v500 (flatbed), and didn't use any filter on the camera lens.

Kodak Portra is awesome for landscapes. Coupled with big negatives, it produces outstanding images.

And that's one heck of a lens.

More importantly, Franco, without you, the photographer, none of us here will see these wonderful vistas.

Beautiful, makes me feel like trying my Nettar 518 with colour too. I'm very pleased with it for B & W. Good job from the photog, lens and V500. I got one that loves 6x6 negs too...

MV72, you will be surprised by the good colour rendition of such an old lens! ;-)

The Kodak 160 film and folders produce surprisingly great results. I love that film and don't know why more people don't use it. Thanks for sharing those great photos.
