remoinded me of an old gangster movie.
From night photography/ light painting workshop with Troy Paiva and Joe Reifer, April 2010.
Lit with yellow gelled strobe in the car triggered manually, natural flashlight from the front of the car for shadows and blue gelled flashlight on the back of the car to fill the dense shadows and highlight the white wall tire
Voigtlander Vito B : This is the key move in getting to the shutter on this camera : this hole (and the two others like it) allows access to the screws (x3) which hold this aluminium aperture ring and the depth of field ring onto the brass lens block : turn the aluminium ring until you can see the slot head screw-heads then with a thin screw-driver take them out ...a magnetic screwdriver is a big help ( magnetise your screwdrivers by rubbing them on a powerful magnet). Again don't LOSE THESE SCREWS (there are no spares available down the local hardware shop).Now we're getting some place (as Olly said to Stan).
Based on a standard Polaroid 100 Automatic Land Camera, this camera has been extensively modified to be able to shoot at professional standards.
The original f8.8 lens and automatic shutter have been replaced with a 1950's, Zeiss Ikon 110mm, f4.5 Novonar, "Red V" edition lens, which is mounted in a Pronto size 0 shutter. The red "V" symbol on the lens means that it was made from Zeiss Ikon's highest quality glass and coatings. You can think of this lens as the Zeiss equivalent to the Canon L series of glass.
The shutter features full X-sync for flash, cable release socket, bulb mode and self timer, making it perfect for shooting in all scenarios. Best of all, the shutter has 10 aperture blades for a smooth circular aperture hole throughout the range. A Polaroid 180 and 195 in comparison only have 5 blades. This means smooth, circle-shaped bokeh-ball highlights instead of ugly pentagon-shaped ones.
The new 110mm lens is not only faster than the original lens, but also much sharper. The camera delivers sharpness and bokeh on par with a Polaroid 180. It features a beautifully shallow depth of field when wide open, with lovely bokeh. Coverage is 100% full frame, with no vignetting.
Features:
- Zeiss Ikon 110mm f4.5, "Red V" Novonar lens
- Pronto size 0 shutter, with bulb mode, cable release and X-sync for flash, range from 1/200th to bulb mode.
- Aperture range from f4.5 to f32
- fold-down Zeiss Ikon rangefinder/viewfinder with projected framelines and automatic parallax compensation
- Metal body
- Tripod socket
- Removable front cover
- Folding bellows design
- Neck strap
- Built in electronic countdown timer in the rear door (times how long your film needs to develop)
- Compatible with ALL Type 100 films, such as Fuji FP-100C and FP-3000B, as well as expired Polaroid brand films.
The 110mm, Zeiss lens has been re-calibrated and mounted to focus as optimal as possible with the original 114mm rangefinder. Sharp portraits on this camera are the number one priority, and that is where it excels. The close distances are 100% tack sharp, even when shot wide open at f4.5!
Any drift between finder and lens that occurs is minimal, and occurs only towards infinity distances, where would would usually stop down the aperture anyway (nobody wants to shoot a landscape picture wide open).
The front lens board was laboriously hand filed to shape to keep the camera looking original, and has been finished in a genuine black cowhide for added luxury.
Lastly, a German-made shutter release cable has been built into the body, to make it easy to fire the shutter.
This what was left after the shutter was cleaned up. This was also before I purchased my Ultrasonic cleaner. 50+ years of shutter smarm.

The Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha is not the greatest time to visit Indonesia. It is a time to spend with family, which means that absolutely nothing is open for business, as you can see in this photo of what is supposed to be the bustling business district in Makassar, Indonesia.
Gooseberry Guard Station, Fishlake National Forest
This is standard issue, old-school Forest Service building detail. On many of their old cabins and guard stations, at least in the Intermountain Region, the windows are bordered by forest green pine tree shutters.
