A seasonal scene from a few years ago. #vintagecamera #120film #kodakgold200 #filmisnotdead #zeisssuperikonta

Photos taken on the vintage Zeiss Ikon 120 film camera, first time I've put a colour film through it. As usual I'm amazed by what this 70 plus year old camera can do, especially the long exposure stream shot. Love the muted tones and slightly white edges from the light leaking through the bellows. Such a joy to use

Une chaise, une façade, la trace d’une fenêtre murée : tout respire le passage du temps.

@NiwlCraft

I think glue/resin is probably a big part of it. Natural organics which slowly degrade. Much like book-binding. That and maybe thin layers of oil in the case of compound lenses.

A museum conservator is probably the answer.

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.

The image showcases a close-up of an iris with droplets of water adorning its petals. The petals are predominantly white with subtle purple accents, and a striking orange stripe runs through the center. The flower's surface is textured with numerous water droplets, giving it a fresh, glistening appearance. The background is a soft blur of dark green leaves.

So I hear you ask what are the other two cameras in this lot? Are they equally broken? Well … both do appear to work but one is a Polaroid Swinger II and the other is a Kodak Brownie 44B. And both are still functional. The Brownie wasn’t broken just needed winding on and the Swinger, well sadly the film doesn’t exist for it any more so that one will never see film again. The Brownie? Who knows, watch this space.

Two vintage cameras are on a kitchen surface. The camera on the right is a bit boxy affair from Polaroid called the Swinger. The Camera on the right is a much dinkier Kodak Brownie 44B.

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.

After doing a bit of research and working on the theory of nothing ventured, nothing gained I separated the shutter/ lens assembly and gently dismantled the lens (giving them a very good clean in the process), then using lighter fluid I worked to dissolve away the old grease on the aperture ring so now it works. Of course I had reset the focal distance of the camera - a fun adventure in itself, but so worth doing as I now have a working Selfix.

#believeinfilm #folder #vintagecamera

An Ensign Selfix sits on a brown box. The back is open and the film area covered by a sheet of grease proof paper. Under the camera is a yellow tape measure and the far end of the box (4.5” / 1.37m away) is a white plastic container.

Last week I bought a bunch of “broken” cameras mostly because one of them was an Ensign Selfix 16-20 in a case and I wanted the case to give to the friend who had lent me his Selfix, to say thank you. Well turns out my Selfix is in lovely condition, even has the ask for Ensign film sticker on the inner door, except for two issues - a seized aperture ring and the front tripod screw cover is missing.
