Wine, beer, lots of good food. Awesome silent auction. My friend's documentary film on view. Er, some sort of other entertainment. That will probably be really good. And...prints. Yeah. Prints on display. Sorry, trailing off a bit...we're working out the details. Including designing an actual invite...haven't had much time lately...I'll get to it. DId I mention the wine and beer, though?!
Still happy to take silent auction items!

We recently found a Rollei 35 LED so I thought it would be interesting to photograph all of our Rollei 35 cameras side by side so you could see the minor variations in them. All three of these work great although we can't use the light meter in the LED model. They're all are all made in Singapore. Two have Rollei Triotar lenses and one has a Carl Zeiss Triotar lens but the image quality looks nearly identical to me,
Also, can anyone tell me why these cameras fire the flash when you advance the film? I thought our first one had bad wiring but all three of them do it.

Sepia & Selenium Toning 2012
I wanted to play in the darkroom last night but didn't feel like setting up the black plastic I use to darken the room. My solution was to play around with some toning, using both Sepia and Selenium toners to get this effect :)

Agfa Optima 200 Sensor ~1969
Agfa Color-Apotar 42mm, 1:2.8 Paratic lens
Auto exposure controlled by a selenium cell, big window on the top left. The system is the needle catch type.
Zone focus on top of the focus ring. Scale focus, in meters and feet in the bottom of the ring.
The advance lever is located under the camera and doubles the function as rewind lever, when the small button, bottom left of the lens is pressed and pushed towards the lens.
Made in Germany.
This camera was a gift from Hugo Cardoso, with a bunch of others.
With some lighter fluid and elbow grease 's back to life.
Thank you Hugo.

Yashicaflex S, one of the first Japanese cameras with a built in Sekonic light meter. Heliotar 3,5/80 lens. Selenium cell visible name plate flipped open. 1954
Yashica-E
Japanese Medium Format (6x6) TLR with an Auto-exposure shutter.
Exposure System. Trapped Needle, Phase 1.
Here you see that part of the exposure system which translates the electrical current coming from the Selenium Cell into the mechanical position used for the Diaphragma opening.
The electric current flowing from the Selenium Cell passes through the Lightmeter Coil.
The Lightmeter has 2 Needles, one visible through the meters windows (see 1) and one used for the exposure system (see 2).
Now, during the depression movement of the Release Button 2 Plates are moved towards the Lightmeter in de direction of the green arrow. The Bottom Plate (see 4) which has a flat front surface and the Upper Plate (see 5) which has a curved and stepped front surface (see 6).
The bottom Plate (4) reaches the Needle (2) first. Its flat front surface "traps" the Needle against an Anvil (see 3).
The arrow (see 7) shows were the Needle got trapped in this instance.
This is the first Phase.

This image is intended as a guide for the more experienced camera service man. If you have no experience in camera repair please do yourself a favor and send your camera to a professional service shop. It would be a pity to lose a vintage camera in a failed repair attempt.
Zeiss Ikon Ikoflex 1c
The Ikoflex 1c is very much like a 1b with the exception of course of the (uncoupled) inbuild exposure meter.
Hidden behind a blind (top of image) is a lightcell. Probably a Selenium type but i also read somewhere about a possible CdS cell. Still have to find that out.
Selenium coupled meter with flash synchronization to 1/1000 . sec. What I love about the Lynx cameras is no Light Value system, and no automation. Nothing to get between you and the camera.

Scan of selenium toned print. My photoshop skills just aren't up to my darkroom when it comes to b&w. All my other posts thus far have been scans from negatives/slides but this scan from my print, though 3rd gen, is better than what I've been able to get out of my digital editing.
