As an update to this thread, some idiot ran his vehicle into the cannon in "Salute" a couple of days ago, destroying the wheels, and causing tens of thousands of dollars damage to the entire gun. Then drove off. They caught him today.

Love the creamy bright photo's. I think I've seen that carriage company before. Salem I think? You did a great job on that camera. I know you will do a good job with this Fed when ever I get it to you. 😀

Looks like the repairer did a good job. Love to see your non-test stuff. These are so crisp: the whites, and the blacks in that second one are delicious.

Thanks, Greg. Yes, Salem it is.

Thanks for the comments, Richard. I used to take all my test cameras to one location, and shoot the same house on a hill for comparison sake. But then I figured I could tell what qualities I was looking for in any photo, so I decided to at least make most of the shots interesting, while still fulfilling the technical requirements of the test.

You can click on any of my photos, and it will take you to Flickr, where you can browse my other stuff.

'Crisp' was the word that sprang to mind with me too. Very nice.

The camera is my Ansco Speedex B2, circa 1940. And Phil did a wonderful job on it, and I appreciate it greatly.
