It is impossible to see thru the viewfinder/ monitor against strong sun flare.
And I will ask ppl to put their finger near their eyes so that I can do the focus more easily.
We did this a couple of times in HK and whenever I showed a puzzled face, K would put her finger towards her face automatically.. Sometimes, its really not abt the sun flare. I was just too sleepy or hungry..
Welta Penti 2
The Welta Penti 2, made in the German Democratic Republic from 1961-1977. The Penti is a half frame viewfinder with a Meyer Domiplan lens (earlier versions had a Trioplan). Its appearance is designed to appeal to female customers.
I had the cream and gold one, but that came only with one Orwo SL cassette, and you need two to shoot - one for the unexposed film strip and one for the exposed part. The easiest solution was to get another Penti - I didn't really care about the colour. Black and gold isn't bad, though arguably less nice than cream and gold.
Shot with:
Canon EOS600D
Leica Bellows R (16860)
Leica 100mm f/4 Macro Elmar-R, bellows version (11230)
Train time at Cajon on Father's Day. Left to right, an e/b UP manifest, most likely a MWCNP, heads up towards Sullivan's Curve on Track 1 while on Track #2, UP 8201West, holds in the clear for the BNSF 8198 East, a Z-train crossing over from Track to to Track 3 for the climb up to Summit. The 8198 had been on Track 2 to allow the late arriving Amtrak #3 to pass just a few minutes earlier. If all of that wasn't enough, out of sight in the background, the southbound UP "Brooklyn" was easing down into the siding at Canyon on the Cut-off, just adjacent to Sullivan's Curve.
La Kodak No.4 Folding Cartridge fou una càmara de carret extremadament gran (format 104), produida per Kodak entre 1897 i 1907. Hi ha dos subvariants bàsiques la de fusta i la metal·lica. El canvi es produí el 1900. Per tant, aquesta d'aquí fou produida entre 1898 i 1900 (la camara compta amb una patent datada el 1898 en el seu interior). El disparador de pera és una imitació moderna. L'obturador és un Eastman Triple Action.
De fet, el format 104 que emprava aquesta càmara és tant gran que les imatges son de 4x5 polzades, és a dir de gran format encara en ús avui en dia. Aquest fet em feu provar (amb exit) que es poden fer fotos amb fulls de pel·licula de 4x5. En cambra fosca els enganxo amb petites tires de cel·lo en el pla focal, i cobreixo la part posterior amb una cartolina negra, De tota manera, provaré de fer adaptadors per a format 120 i així poder disparar de forma més comode (cada canvi de 4x5 és molt pesat, incloent cambra fosca).

=============================================
This is a late-XIX Century Kodak camera, the No.4 Folding Cartridge. It was a roll film camera, using the inmense 104 format. This camera was produced from 1897 to 1907, in wood till 1900 and all metallic afterwards. Also this model indicates a certain patent for 1898, so it's clear that it was produced between 1898 and 1900. It's my first XIX Century camera, and it works!!!
The shutter is a beautiful Eastman Triple Action (the rubber bulb is a modern reproduction).
The fact that the 104 format is so large is that it produces exactly 5x4" negatives, exactly the same as the current large format sheets. The explanation is that these cameras could be fitted with a glass plate back for such format. But now i've used this characteristic to shoot with exit 4x5 film sheets, stuck with tape to the focal plane and backed with black cartboard.
Anyway the system is extremely cumbersome, using a dark room to load and unload each picture, so I'll try to adapt spools to take 120 format film.

"Hasselbladski" at Fort Frederick, in Big Pool Maryland! Took this "waist-level viewfinder" shot of my Kiev 88, aimed down the in-use line that runs through the park grounds.
The Kiev 88 gets the Hasselbladski nickname for being a Ukrainian copy of the well-known Hasselblad camera of a similar design. The medium-format film is located in a "film back" which is the 1/3 back of the camera nearest my arm in the photo. The top viewfinder is quite clear, and made for an interesting frame up of an otherwise typical view.

So this would be the photo that I forgot about, we've all got them hidden away somewhere!
Took this in the engine room of a derelict wooden mill in Somerset, and thought it was OK in the viewfinder...even happier with the finished result!
it occurred to me the other day that we have skeletons all over our house. there's this one by the front door, and this one and this one and this one and this one and this one and this one and this one. (and then there's the halloween skeletons and the pumpkins.) oh and there's this one, which patrick t power shot when he came to visit.
but i'm not obsessed with death or anything.
The Waikanae Estuary again, and this time it was an Australasian Shoveler who paddled into my viewfinder's range...!
First of all, for those of you unfamiliar with the term, "Australasian" is not a new country, but a term that says the bird in question (In this case the Shoveler) can be found in Australia and in New Zealand...!
Secondly, "...Shovelers are specialist filter-feeding waterfowl with a large spoon-shaped or shovel-shaped bill that is almost twice as broad at its tip than at its base, and which is the bird’s most conspicuous feature.
Fine lamellae - which is a thin membrane or layer - extend along most of the edge of the upper mandible and it is by pushing water through this lamellae curtain that small plankton and fine seeds are extracted."
If you have time, you can read more about this interesting bird at nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/australasian-shoveler (and scroll down).
Thanks so much for the very kind and encouraging comments beneath this photo...! Your support is very greatly appreciated.
We had some amazing conditions a couple days in a row. Mist...in summer! And the sun is rising almost at a time when I can actually get myself out of bed.
It's been a while since I've been to Half Day to shoot. I thought I was imagining things when I saw in the viewfinder rainbow colors in the mist. But they were there...a fog bow!
Well decided to make the leap and buy my dream camera. Haven't shot film in over 8 years and just shot my first 2 rolls. I can't wait to get them developed!
just developed the first roll out of the mat today — tmx100 / hc-110 / kodafix. looks good, will be a while until i scan though…!
(gambrill park, frederick county, md)
Here it is. There is some debate if this is "Through the Viewfinder" (TtV), but I am actually taking a picture of the ground glass I installed in the holga. I was inspired by the TtV group, thought this might work, and then found this set up. So I am not the first person to think of, or do this.
There have been some serious changes to this. I removed the cardboard and replaced it with more of the black plastic I had. I did this so I could try my other lens. I was using my Nikon 50mm prime with a plus three close up filter. I figured the f/1.8 would help with focusing. I switched to my Tamron 18-200mm with a +4,+2, and +1 filters stacked. I am using this at about 55 - 60 mm. I am getting much less vignetting than before.
The new contraption is light tight. I even tested it with a 30 second pinhole shot. There were no stray light sources at all.
