Woohoo! New camera: Super Baldax
I haven't put any film through it yet--But I bought this 1954 camera off a British dude, and it just arrived today, and I'm pretty excited about it!
Without going into a whole optics discussion, there is a certain soft look to medium format images that I don't think will be coming to digital anytime soon. I've been printing my old 6x9 Graflex negatives recently, and really loving the look of them.
But I have to confess this particular purchase was almost totally inspired by this portrait taken by Will with a 6x6 folder, which I would fave 5 times if I could. (But I take full responsibilty for any subsequent damage to my bank account!)
Notwithstanding the prestige of the Schneider name, the Radionar design is only a triplet. So wide open, I'm hoping it will be kind of soft and dreamy in the corners...
