This is the test film of my recently acquired Praktica IV camera. For the test, I choose the normal lens of my Asahi Pentax Spotmatic that fits perfectly to the Praktica. The lens can be used in its "Auto" mode. The diaphragm is stopped down automatically to the selected aperture value by pressing the shutter release.
The Praktica camera was loaded with a 36-exposure Fomapan Creative 200 and exposed for 160 ISO. Expositions were determined using a Minolta Autometer III with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. The weather was relatively clear (15h-16h30) giving typical exposures of 1/100s at f/8.I tested here the "high-speed" values 1/50s, 1/100s, 1/200s and 1/500s. I used the regular protective Skylight 49mm filter and the original Asahi shade hood specifically designed for the lens.

After exposure, the film was processed using Adox Adonal (= Agfa Rodinal) developer at dilution 1+25, 20°C for 5min.
The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body adapted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III and a Minolta Slide Duplicator using a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5 at a reproduction ratio of 1:1. The reproduced RAW files obtained were processed in LR prior the the final JPEG editions.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printing framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.

About the camera :
I got the camera body Praktica IV and a set of related KDH Leipzig accessories from an eBay seller near Paris, France.. The whole arrived to me on January, 31, 2024, in Lyon, France.
The Praktica IV was designed by the prestigious KW (Kamera Werk Niedersedlitz) German company in Dresden on the basis of their previous Praktica FX SLR camera's. The camera was produced first under the KW name starting from June 1959 then in the Kombinat VEB Pentacon after the merge of the company in 1960.
166.800 Praktica IV and V (6 models) were produced until January 1966. Praktica IV essentially incorporates a condenser focusing screen plus a pentaprism. Due to the Praktica FX architecture the Pentaprism looks protruding from the camera body with an unusual style. It fits lenses with M42x1 mount and the mirror has no automatic return. The shutter is made of two horizontal curtains of rubberized fabric giving 1/500s to 1/2s plus B in two registers of slow speeds (1/2s to 1/10s) and high speeds (1/25s to 1/500s). The film is advanced coupled to the shutter cocking using either the right upper button or the rapid lever underneath the body.
The Praktica IV handles the "Auto" M42 lenses with the lever for automatic iris closing upon the release. Sequentially, when pressing the shutter release button, the diaphragm closes to the indicated value, the mirror is lift-off and finally the shutter is erased at the given value. If a non-auto (manual closing) M42 is used the pushing lever could be cancelled (declutched) moving a small red button to the right in the mirror chamber.
The camera camera came without lens but with a body cap and the original ever-ready leather bag with et "Ernermann tower" Pentacon logo. This model is likely the second Praktica IV essentially the same as the initial KW one with a different front plate. The camera was likely art of a collection and is completely preserved without use marks.
The KDH Leipzig (Kurt-Dieter Huffziger Foto- und Kinozubehör) accessories set included:
-A panoramic tripod head
-A set of three extension tubes M42x1)
- A big aluminum shade hood (screw-on 49mm) for wide-angle lens.
- A M42x1 metal body cap in its original box.
- An accessory shoe fitting the the Praktica IV eye piece.

About the lens :
For the test film I equipped the Praktica IV with a normal lens from Asahi Optical Company (originally (旭光学工業株式会社, Asahi Kōgaku Kōgyō Kabushiki-Gaisha) Super-Takumar 1:1.8 f=55mm (screwing M42 mount). The lens came with my ASAHI PENTAX Spomatic SP (acquired in July 2022) camera produced in Japan from 1964 to 1971.

Well, after yesterday's disappointed shoot, I decided to take a different concept with these two images. Instead of a person's identity being melted away from them like water in the previous images, I decided to show how technology eats away at us. The CDs represent the ever impending reliance on digital media/technology, which will one day result in a chaos if it were to fail.
I'm not sure I like the one and a half eyes having the CD. There was a glare on the CD, which can easily be seen on the left side of the right CD. We'll see what other's like.
In the distance you can see "Glengarriff Harbour" (bay). In the far distance is Bantry Bay, Whiddy Island and Bantry.
My first attempt at digitization of my sketches. I will need to print it out to get a true feeling of how its working but on screen its not looking too bad.

Mexican researchers work to digitize the Codex Mendoza Mexican researchers working on the 16th-century Codex Mendoza are pioneers in efforts to bring important archaeological documents that provide prime sources for the study of pre-Columbian Mexico into the digital era. The goal is “to make the Mexican codices accessible for a wider audience,” National Anthropology and History Institute, or INAH, expert Ernesto Miranda said in an interview with Efe. Read More

What a different world. Henry VIII is requiring teachers to use this textbook and only this textbook under penalty of his displeasure. I can only imagine what that would involve. :)
"We will and commande, and streightly charge al you scholemasters and teachers of gramer within this our realme, and other our dominions, as ye intende to avoide our displeasure, and have our favor to teache and learne your scholars this englysshe introduction here ensuing, and the latine grammer annexed to the same, and none other, which we have caused for your ease, and your scholars spedy preferment briefly and planely to be compiled and sette forth. Fayle not to apply your scholers in lernynge and godly education."
During the Stay-At-Home, I digitized my slide films into a digital image.
Celebrated the Armed Forces Day in May, 1993. It was open to the public. Visitors came in and parked their cars in the Long-Term Parking Lot. There were shutter bus taking the visitors to the main attractions area, or visitors could take a walk there. Military and civilians were parading before the retrofit of the war demonstration. It was a family fun day. The parade and war demonstration started at noon time.
Many nations around the world observe some kind of Armed Forces Day to honor their military forces. In the United States, Armed Forces Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in May. It falls near the end of Armed Forces Week, which begins on the second Saturday of May and ends on the third Sunday of May.
First observed on 20 May 1950, the day was created on 31 August 1949, to honor Americans serving in the five U.S. military branches – the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Coast Guard – following the consolidation of the military services in the U.S. Department of Defense. It was intended to replace the separate Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard Days, but the separate days are still observed, especially within the respective services.

I've cut out a few pages.
The trick is to make multiple cuts (10 or 20 at a time, maybe more) before you pull out the pages. This lets the already-cut pages guide the next cuts.
I'm right-handed, so I turned the book upside down. I can hold the pages with my left hand and cut with the knife in my right.
Keep the knife blade vertical (perpendicular to the page) as you cut. If you angle it toward (or away from) the book spine, you'll run into problems about midway thorugh the book. It is difficult to make a new 'cut line' after you have one going the wrong direction.
... And make sure the cut always goes away from any body parts! (Your own body that is.) You'll be bearing down fairly hard, and cutting in a ripping motion. Could make a nasty wound if you are not careful!

This was a slide scanned in EV increments of +1, 0, -1,-2 and digitized, then tonemapped using Qtpfsgui 1.9.3. Interesting results. I will try more but I will make sure to brush all the dust off the slide before scanning. Tonemapping brings out alot of the dirt on the slide.
