My latest addition, a Rolleiflex 6006 aka The Beast!
My back and shoulders quiver at the thought of a day out with it!
Moss grows abundantly in Iceland. This is apparently due to the lack of pollution there. Icelandic moss has medicinal qualities to it- it has its own web MD page.

Nasturtiums and maize at night, partially illuminated by house lights. This was an hour long exposure, and one of my attempts at doing something with the meteor shower. It came to nothing unfortunately!

Perkeo I, open and ready for business.
This camera cost me £27 and is in mint condition. The eBay gods were smiling on me that day. It has a f/4.5 Vaskar lens, which I'm really rather pleased with.
One of the things I particularly like about Perkeos is that they're almost a system camera. Beside the push-on filters there are also the Focar close-up lenses, for example.
And it has a self-timer. And it synchronises with my electronic flash.
You have to wonder why folders ever fell out of favour. They are such capable and convenient cameras. I'm very pleased to see that there is a new Voigtlander/Fuji folder, but it's way beyond what I can afford.

Most of the buildings on Mayo's campus are connected by a network of underground passages. Comes in handy on days like today when the outside temp is -9F!
Thought I'd experiment with some 1975-expired Kodacolor II film and cross-process it as b&w. The emulsion layer that the b&w dev couldn't eat through is very dense, and as a result the images are not very clear.
Meet Mitchell. Mitch was part of a group of motorcyclists I met in Campbelltown Tasmania. They were heading home after having participated in the annual Toy Run in Hobart.
I'd been taking photos with my 60 year old Ensign camera and he seemed interested. He was happy to pose for a photo when I asked.
It seems he has a camera which looks similar and used to belong to his great grandmother. After a bit of a chat it turns out that the only similarities to his camera and mine were the bellows. His camera was much bigger, he said.
His great grandmother, born in 1892 used a large format camera (no it was not her husbands camera it was hers) and it was passed onto Mitchell after her death at 102 years old. He was very taken with the old camera and vowed he'd never sell it.
This photo was taken with an Ensign Selfix 16-20 Medium format film camera circa 1950's. If you are wondering why the metadata says the photo was taken with a Sony 6300, it's because I took a digital photo of the negative, then inverted it in Photoshop to get the image.
