  Got a job to worked on couple cameras and traded in a Exakta VX and a Zeiss Jena Pancolar 50 f2. Thanks to Peter. It seemed fine so I didn’t work on it at all but come to find out the 1/1000 /  high speed is sticky, i’ll work on that later. The slower shutter speed ones fine. Took the VX up to Lewis Farm Market / Petting Zoo, seems like every year I went there I got some nice shot, last year I went up with a Nikon F and a Nikkor S 50 1.4 that I was working on for someone. You can search my blog if you wanna see. Anyways lets see what the Pancolar can do, and part II will be the trusty Minolta X700 and the PF Rokkor 55mm f1.9. Yes that camera has be upgraded to the term trusty.

 

First time using the VX still getting used to it. When everything works out that Pancolar is scary. 1/100 f2 Tri X.

One of my all time favoruite photo.

Jeffery eats my arm, everytime.

Jeffrey got a lot of attention from all the people, and this roll of Tri X.

Exakta at 1/1000 on this roll, I fixed the problem immediately afterwards.

Minolta begins here.

For your little dog fetish

Had some great light the other day after dinner.

She wanted to show me that she can do a flip.

I knew I exposed it right, I will just have to figure out how to print this nice in the darkroom. I am getting very comfortable with this camera.

NO TRAINING WHEELs. No mattery what everyone say I claim this one.

Can’t wait till he ask me for a roll of Tri X one day.

Quack

This turned out to be a little creepy.

This was her Idea

This lens is ridiculous SHARP.
