Kodak Monitor

Kodak Monitor

I rehabed the Special lens and shutter before recently selling this great camera on a well known international auction site and was astounded by the results.

I don't do digital except with an old Sony, that uses a floppy, to post on the auction site. I shot this famous building in Fort Worth as a test. I scanned the WalMart pic on my $49.95 all-in-one scanner-printer-copier. I viewed the neg under my Nikon dissecting microscope. I'll be damned if I couldn't see detail in the toenail of the near angel!

I'll never be convinced that the European lenses of the day were any better!

Beautiful picture! And re Kodak lenses, on this side of the pond I've had excellent results from a (Six-20 A) Anastar 🙂 .
... and the (picture of) the Monitor itself.

My first roll...Light leaks anyone?

Who needs a Holga? 🙂 I actually rather like the effect.

Serendipitous.

The Kodak lenses, among them Tessar-Heliar designs, 1930-1960, had a good reputation. If a picture appears here it is made with a Monitor 620 in Pisa several years back. Tri-X most likely, developed in Rodinal 1:50
