I.C.A.F. Roby Milano 1.11 F.10.5

Flea Market Find: 1937 I.C.A.F. Roby Milano 1.11 f=10.5 (€2). Despite its age, the camera doesn't have any mechanical defects. These shots were taken with Kodak Portra 160. The camera has a slow and sometimes aesthetically pleasing light leak that only becomes apparent after some hours.

The images are unedited, directly from scanner. Next stop: black-and-white film.

Parameter Proliferation

The problem is obvious from the pictures. The parameters:

• Newly acquired second-hand camera, Canon EOS 500
• Newly acquired second-hand lens, Holga for Canon
• Expired Fujicolor Superia X-Tra 400
  
  • exact expiration date unknown
  • origin unknown
  • previous storage conditions unknown
• Possibly exhausted developer (Tetenal Colortec C-41)

Best to make a fresh start I guess.

Monument Omgekomen Bewoners Psychiatrische Inrichting

Traces of War:
Monument Omgekomen Bewoners Psychiatrische Inrichting (Nederland - Gelderland - Wolfheze)
Tijdens de eerste dag van de slag om Arnhem zijn er, met name als gevolg van de bombardementen, veel bewoners en personeelsleden van deze psychiatrische inrichting omgekomen. Op dit monument dat op de begraafplaats staat, staan de namen van 31 slachtoffers.

spannendegeschiedenis.nl:
Op zondagmiddag 17 september landde een deel van de 1e Britse Luchtlandingsdivisie bij Wolfheze. Ze moesten de Rijnbrug bij Arnhem veroveren. De geallieerden vermoedden echter dat de Duitsers de psychiatrische inrichting als kazerne gebruikten en besloten deze te bombarderen. Drie bomtapijten vernielden die ochtend verschillende gebouwen van de inrichting en richten grote schade aan in het dorp. Er kwamen zesennegentig burgers om.

116

This was the only shot that was salvaged from an old exposed 116 spool that was found in a box with other, unexposed rolls. So, we have no context as to when and where the photo was taken. I was told that this is a Lambretta.

The film was developed by the Vienna LomoLab, and the people there were kind enough to return the vintage wooden spool alongs with the negatives.

Kodak Professional T-Max 100, expired 11/1998

Shots taken in Tiel (NL) using a Canon EOS 500 with a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens ('plastic fantastic') and Kodak Professional T-Max 100, expiration date November 1998. The film was shot at ISO 50.

Echo Anastigmat 1:3.5 F=50mm on a Canon EOS 1200D

The Echo Anastigmat 1:3.5 F=50mm (No. 5836) is an obscure lens. Google searches yield very little information but from what I found, I gather this might be an enlarger lens. On the other hand, the lens has its own aperture settings (3.5, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16 & 22).

I bought this lens for a few euros at a thrift shop and attached it to an EOS body to see what would happen. The results are interesting.

The last picture shows the lens needs more cleaning than I thought.

Meaning of Anastigmat (Wikipedia):
An anastigmat or anastigmatic lens is a photographic lens completely corrected for spherical aberration, coma, and astigmatism. Early lenses often included the word Anastigmat in their name to advertise this new feature (Doppel-Anastigmat, Voigtländer Anastigmat Skopar, etc.). All modern photographic lenses are close to being anastigmatic.

This camera is not a toy

The Disderi Robot Camera manual says This camera is not a toy, but hey...

Here are some samples from the first roll I shot on the Robot Camera with expired Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 400. Improvement is anticipated. The camera is obviously easy to use once the film is in place, but it makes a heavy blender-like sound when the three lenses are activated, so it's not exactly inconspicuous.

The camera may be difficult to load for some, but here's a detailed how-to.
