Self-portrait at the Menninger Institute Ruins
I had a good day estate sale shopping for vintage cameras a week back. I acquired three cameras at this sale and all seem to work. This image captured with the Zeiss Ikon Nettar 515/2 folding camera that I acquired for $24 at this sale. It displays typical use wear for a camera this old, but everything appears to work, including the self-timer, which I used to take this picture. I measured off 15 feet and set the lens accordingly. I set the aperture and triggered the shot with the self-timer. I've been advised to not use the self-timers on my old cameras but I figured what the heck. I was a little off on the framing, but I like how this image turned out. Zeiss Ikon Nettar 515/2 using Foma 400 film. Self-developed with Xtol at 1:1 dilution.
