Granville — Flexaret IIa

Une fenêtre close, rideaux déchirés, éclats de peinture usée.
Il n’y a personne derrière, mais la lumière continue d’y entrer.

Granville 2025 — Flexaret IIa

Le Flexaret IIa, sans automatisme ni certitude, compose ici son propre rêve : celui d’une ville qui garde plusieurs couches de mémoire sous sa lumière grise.

Granville 2025 — Flexaret IIa

Dans la vieille ville, tout semble encore habité par le silence.
Une chaise, une façade, la trace d’une fenêtre murée : tout respire le passage du temps.

Granville — Flexaret IIa

Avec le Flexaret IIa, la mise au point devient presque un geste de mémoire : on choisit ce qu’on garde net, et ce qu’on laisse s’effacer dans la lumière.

Granville, 2024 — Flexaret IIa (1949)

À marée basse, la mer se retire lentement et laisse au silence la place d’un monde à découvert.
Le Flexaret IIa, fidèle compagnon, capte ce vide habité : un oiseau, quelques pierres, le souvenir du vent sur le sable.

Hey I'm back! Here's a portrait with my Flexaret Standard, on a Cinestill 50D (which I kept waaay too long in the fridge).

Paris TLR Photos (Paris Travel Log #4)

Having processed the TLR photos I took in Paris, I can show them here.

That guy was taking photos of the woman in the street. She was posing for him. I found it strange that they’d do that lugging around a suitcase.

My father and his mother with a successful catch of herring on an early morning in the early #60s. Digitalized from negative. #Flexaret

Two people are standing by a small wooden boat close to the shore on an early morning. They are holding a large fishing net that is filled with herring. In front of them, several wooden crates are also packed with herring, suggesting a successful catch.
The person on the left is dressed in a beige jacket, green pants, and a green cap. The person on the right wears a brown jacket, gray pants, and black boots. Both appear to be focused on their task.
Behind them, the water is calm, and the landscape features forested hills. The sky above is overcast, casting a soft, diffused light over the scene.

I pulled both steel rollers out of the #Flexaret camera and polished them with a grinding paste on a drill. I also polished the film path, it shines beautifully. We'll see if there are any scratches on the next film.

Opened Flexaret kamera back door. The picture shows the whole film path with rollers and film rails.

@panchromaholic I expect you talk about 120 Fomapan 200, right? It is infamous for that, I know. But there is definitely a problem inside #Flexaret. The film is otherwise without scratches and I can’t see any usual #Fomapan200 emulsion defects (like „black rain“, missing emulsion on spots or other emulsion irregularities).

@panchromaholic Yes, the spacing is excellent.

Unfortunately, there are short longitudinal scratches in the corner of some of the images, so I'll give it another try. The first roller doesn't apparently move completely freely yet and sometimes gets stuck. It's not on all the images, so there's a chance to improve it. It was #Fomapan200, so any mistake in the film advance is visible on the emulsion.

Yes, the screen in my #Flexaret is original with the guide lines drawn with blue ink.

Apparently I messed up loading the film and I have eleven and a third of a frame. The loader length is different than on my #PentaconSix. Second try will be better.

Black and white film type 120 is hanging in the shower box

Yesterday I cleaned, polished and lightly oiled the rollers in the film path to prevent film damaging and today I took the #Flexaret with me to work. On the way back home, I took pictures of everything that crossed my path. I didn't count the frames but framecounter shows the all twelve frames were exposed. We will see...
