The Enslow Covered Bridge is located in Blaine Pennsylvania, a very rural area of Perry County. The structure was built in 1904, is 110 feet long and 16 feet wide and utilizes a Burr Truss design. The bridge takes Adams Grove Road over Sherman's Creek. Perry County owns and maintains the bridge, and it is in great condition in a beautiful setting. We were lucky to arrive at the bridge to shoot it in the late afternoon sun. The GPS location of the bridge is N40 19.74 W77 29.49.

Lens: Rodenstock Geronar 150mm F6.3 lens in a Copal 0 shutter
Film: Arista EDU 100 Ultra 4x5 B&W sheet film, which I shot at 64 ISO
Settings: Shot at F32. Metered with a Pentax 1 degree spot meter. I blew out the sky and should have used a filter.

Scanning: Negative scanned with Epson V600 in two parts and merged in Photoshop CS5 since the V600 doesn't natively support scanning 4x5 sheet film and I haven't stepped up to the V700 yet.

1956-7 Agfa Isola II.
Agfa made 2 models, the Isola I says "Agfa Isola I" below the lens while the Isola II only says "Agfa Isola" and is printed above the lens. The Isola II is the camera featured here.
I really like this camera. It's got a multi-coated Agfa Agnar triplet lens that is fairly sharp, but still soft on the edges. I consider this camera to be a "folding type" though it's not like most folders. The lens pops out from the camera body with a little twist and has a light tight plastic tube instead of a bellows.
Sometimes the Isola is referred to as a toy camera similar to a Diana or Holga, but I find it to be much nicer and easier to load. It is mostly plastic, but is nicely built with no light leaks or having to tape it up each time you use it. The Isola II has 3 shutter speeds (1/100, 1/30 + bulb) and 2 f-stops (6.3 & 11). Shoots 12 6x6 images on 120 film. It accepts 30mm push-on filters. I screwed a 31.5-46mm step-up ring to an Ednalite push-on ring. This allows me to use 46mm screw-in filters and a plastic lens hood from an old VHS video camera.
You can often find these cameras on eBay for under $25.00. Since these cameras are 55+ years old, they almost always need to have the lenses disassembled to clean dried-up grease from the focus threads. This can be done yourself as there are lot's of websites with great illustrations and instructions.
