“EXA42″ , Sekor 50mm f2, Tri X 5063
Greetings, I am Derek, other wise known as “dehk” online to everyone else. I currently live in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This is a photography blog for my less fortunate everyday photos, meaning not everyone of them has to be anything spectacular however still interesting. This blog will provide exposures for those photos, before they are buried somewhere deep in my closet and never see day light again. Watch out, anything is possible in front of my view finder.
In this blog you will find photos from various cameras and formats. I use cameras dating from the 1940s to present day. It is a good place to find samples, just use the search bar (for example, type in “Tri X” or “Rolleiflex”). Most of the images are scanned via Epson Perfection 4490 Photo, it could be a negative scan, or if the frame is lucky enough, a silver gelatin print scan. You will also find mostly weird and bizarre, but useful tutorials and data here. Just click Photographic Data on the header.

Hello there Derek:
I hope you are doing fantastic ! I am Oscar I live in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. The thing is that I got a Brownie camera from a thrift store for my daughter, she’s getting into photography and design and she got so exited when I told her I had a 100 year old camera for her. I read your note in this website:
http://www.apug.org/forums/forum37/82658-i-found-roll-exposed-130-film.html
So, wanted to ask you. What happened with the pictures that were in the camera ? I read your note and I had to send you an e-mail to ask you. Take care man.
Oscar
How fun that you found a very old brownie camera for your daughter. You asked what happened to the roll of 130 film in the camera?
http://dehk.wordpress.com/2010/11/05/developing-130-film-with-d76/ It was a lot of work doing it by hand, I need to make a better plan on keeping time in the dark next time other than counting out loud literally. Well I can’t see a timer in the dark, nor want to touch one with chemicals on my hand. Does the camera you bought also have a roll of exposed film?
During the course of unloading the 130 film from the backing paper, I tried my best to preserve the backing paper on the spool, which is now rolled back up onto to spool in my display case, it looks very nice.
