I just took my first pictures on a new (old) Ihagee Ultrix 3860 (6x9 on 120 or 6.5x9 glass plate) camera with CZJ 105mm f4.5 Tessar (late 1930s). Focus was not quite there, even at infinity. I just tested it with ground glass and a loupe, and focus distances are pretty good on the flat plane, plus the camera does have stops at the edges (in film mode). I suspect that I did not open completely. Sometimes when I erect the lens, I can pull on the lens and it will snap into place a bit more. This is partially a consequence of the adjustment built in required for going from roll film (F) to plate (P). I may not have done that while shooting. Based on the ground glass tests, I will probably shoot another roll, plus be more careful erecting (including not winding closed, speed of opening, etc.).

Both these shots were focused on infinity and shot at f16 with a Waltz Y2 filter.

B17 restoration. When spooling onto developing reel, I accidentally allowed the backing paper tape to contact the negative, which resulted in a pattern of incomplete development in top third. But, I couldn't throw it away.
