rainy day fishing

Even though it was a cold steady rain, the fishermen were enjoying it, bringing in the catch of the day.

 

I picked up this Kodak Retina IIa for $18 at an antique store in Michigan City IN, and walked out to the car and loaded it up. I could tell the shutter was a little slow, so needless to say, all my shots were over exposed. This was just a short test roll to see if it worked at all.

 

The view finder is so dirty I had a hard time seeing the rangefinder. I will give it a good CLA, and I hope to make this a fun, pocket size, 'go to' 35mm.

 

Shot on Ilford FP4 developed in Ilfosol3 for 4.5 minutes. If I'd known how over exposed these were, I'd have pulled it in quite a bit, like ASA 60
