signet02a.delta100.jpg
Two days ago I serviced a Kodak Signet 35 camera (from 1955) that I'd acquired recently. I had one of these 35 years ago, bought at a garage sale for something like $10. But back then I didn't know how to disassemble cameras and service them, and it was unusable in its condition, so I set it aside and forgot about it.
Fast forward to 2022 and I got another one, intent on cleaning it up and returning it to usability. (See: flic.kr/p/2mXJWBf)
This is from yesterday's test roll (delta 400 @200 ASA, processed in Pyrocat HD, 16 minutes). I'm impressed with the performance of the 44mm Ektar (Tessar) lens. Most of the photos I made at f5.6 or f8.
