Hanging about in cemeteries may not be everyone's cup of tea, but my local one has some interesting trees which justify spending some time there. The more I look at this print, the more I think the neg would have been better shot in less bright conditions. Controlling the highlights and getting the right range of tones in the print has been a bit of a struggle. Still, some selenium and gold has helped the image tremendously.

More often than not, when I find a Petri camera, it's broken. Amazingly, I found this one in working condition, including the selenium cell meter. There are many examples of the 7 S available in thrift stores and online as Petri made this particular model for over a decade. A pleasant, clean industrial design worthy of a spot on my shelves.

One of the prom photos I did for my god-daughter. Selenium tone was done in Adobe Lightroom, added Vette logo tattoo in Photoshop.
Zeiss Ikon Vintage Test Lightmeters.
An retired repairman told me that these selenium cell powered lightmeters were used to check other "normal" lightmeters. That's all i know.
These meters clearly use the housing of the "normal" Ikophot model which was produced in the middle of the nineteen-fifthies.
Only adoptions seem to be the removal of the Dials and the use of another Scale.
The readings of both meters are about the same which is not bad for selenium lightmeters more then fifty years old
Why one is numbered 33 and the other 34 i don't know. Maybe serial numbers ?
I received an email from a gentleman who was disposing of his late father's estate. He didn't want his dad's Ricoh rangefinder to end up at a thrift store or auctioned online. He offered it to me as long as I would take care good of it. I agreed and said I would be proud to display it.
What arrived was a whole kit: camera, Konica meter, Ricoh bulb flash, filters, lens hood, leather camera case and all instructions. The camera itself is in very fine condition. The focusing ring is very stiff, stuck actually. No doubt the result of the original lubricant decaying to glue over the many decades. I will certainly attend to that and return the camera to its full glory.

Day - 34 - Selenium
Stanleya is a genus of six species of plants in the mustard family known commonly as prince's plumes. These are herbs or erect shrubs which bear dense, plumelike inflorescences of white to bright yellow flowers with long stamens. Stanleya species are native to the western United States. These plants are toxic because they concentrate selenium from the soil in their tissues.

Yesterday, my friends and I went on a road trip, but we got a flat and sat in the car for an hour waiting for AAA. I had my camera, and took advantage of the free time.
Fundado em 13 de Junho de 1808 por d. João, Príncipe Regente na época, mais tarde d. João VI, o Jardim Botânico em seus 137 hectares, 55 abertos à visitação pública, abriga um acervo botânico da flora brasileira e exótica e um acervo histórico-cultural.
Foi intenção de d. João VI aclimatar, na área que desapropriara para a instalação de uma fábrica de pólvora para a defesa da sua Coroa, especiarias trazidas das Índias Orientais.
De jardim de Aclimatação e Real Horto, após a coroação de d. João VI como rei do Reino Unido de Portugal e Brasil, passou a chamar-se Real Jardim Botânico. Somente no Reinado de Pedro I foi aberto à visitação pública, já com o nome de Jardim Botânico.
Em 1937, foi tombado pelo Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional, e definido pela Unesco como Reserva da Biosfera, em 1992, e como Reserva da Biosfera da Mata Atlântica, em 1999. Tem como missão "Promover, realizar e divulgar o ensino e as pesquisas técnico-científicas sobre os recursos florísticos do Brasil, visando o conhecimento e a conservação da biodiversidade, assim como a manutenção das coleções científicas sob sua responsabilidade."

An overview of the different silver painted faces of the Metrophot and Metraphot exposure meters that were produced by Metrawatt around 1933. The model in the middle of the bottom row, the Metraphot 16, has a larger body than the other ones because a stronger(=larger) magnet had been used. The model bottom right is the KINO model that shows the aperture #s to be used at a certain frame speed, to be set at the back. Front view.

i cant remember this one, either. >_<
from my collection (mineral findings from 23.10. - 25.10. 2009 in saxony, erzgebirge, germany).
The Russian-built SLR, made by KMZ, with a 42mm screw-thread lens mount and selenium light meter - which seems to still work. A 1973 model, with the manual-stop-down Helios-44-2 58mm/f2 lens.
This photo was taken in a south-facing window on a very dull day, so the light is mainly behind the (subject) camera, and with an LED torch pointing at the lens (hence the blue tinge to the shadows).

Thanks to Dario for the chemistry!
PMC Automatc Rapid, half format camera with Agfa's Rapid cassette system and Selenium exposure meter.
It is based on the Ricoh-EE Rapid Half. The Ricoh looks much more elegant, it hasn't the accessory shoe, the automatic/f-stop ring is directly around the lens and it hasn't this leatherette on the front.
PMC is not the company founded by Henry Reichenbach, but stands for "Premie van de Maand Club", as I learned on this helpful side. The camera was rebadged by the Dutch grocer Albert Heijn.
The camera works like its forerunners, the Ricoh Auto Half series. Fixfocus lens with 4 elements, in A-mode the shutter speed is fixed 1/125 s and the f-Stop is set automatically, a "shutter speed priority automatic" with one shutter speed, so to say. For flash photography an f-stop can be set manually, then the shutter speed is 1/30 s.
The Selenium cell isn't completely dead, but seems to be a bit weak. In the film chamber is a needle which detects the film speed from the rapid cassette. Perhaps I can fool this needle and set it to 50 ASA while using a 400 ASA film, e.g.
