I finally scanned a roll of cheap drugstore film from my Walz Electric acquired about a year ago. As expected, the Kominar lens is sharp and nice. The camera seems to be rather rare, though it was discussed in this forum a few times.
saturation isn't very high, but I like the vintage look
obviously, the lens is really flare prone, though I used a lens shade
All shot at f 4, because the Aperture is broken - someone fiddled with that EV coupling I guess. Aside from that my Walz also had the coupling between film wind and shutter cocking disengaged, something that seems to happen fairy often with Walz cameras. The Selenium meter isn't working anymore of course. Nevertheless a big heavy camera, nice to use.

I like the results - slightly muted but very nice indeed. Is the meter still accurate? It seems to have coped well with difficult light.
