Analog on digital - Flektogon on Canon EOS

Flektogon 2.8/35, Aus JENA DDR (Zebra) on a Canon EOS 1200D, photo taken by Robert van der Kroft, June 2016, in Elten (D)
This is what you get when you pop a Flektogon 2.8/35, Aus JENA DDR (Zebra) onto a Canon EOS 1200D. The images come out quite light, and have an inherent subtle quality which is hard to attain with a modern lens.

All shots taken in Elten (Germany), June 2016.

Alfo PR-P 100 126 film, expiration date 1990-2. I found two of these cassettes in a second-hand store in Arnhem (NL). According to the owner, these films had been lying there for years, so no cool storage.

The shots were taken with a second-hand (or third- or fourth-) Kodak Instamatic 155X on a sunny day and the rolls were developed in standard C-41, homebrew. Oh, the boxes say “Möglichst bald entwickeln” (Process ASAP). Did that.

Sony DSC-V3 and Infrared Photography

These shots were taken with a Sony Cybershot DSC-V3 with a 52mm infrared pass filter. The DSC-V3 has a Nightshot mode which means you'll be able to take IR shots without physically modifying the camera. Just add an IR pass filter and you're good to go. The photos will have a green hue, so you'll have to do some minor editing to get a b&w equivalent. The DSC-V3 is quite steady, these photos were all taken without using a tripod.

All shots taken in Arnhem (NL). Cherish the selfie, I almost never do that.

More IR shots can be found on my Flickr page.

All photos taken in Westervoort (NL) with a Fujifilm X20 > Advanced filter > Minitiature. Obviously a nice setting, but also one that should be used sparingly. More examples on my Flickr site, here, here and here.
