I'm very excited to show you one of my first medium format photos that I took with my 70-year-old folding camera! In the photo, my wife with our over 18-year-old dog. 🥰 📷
Gear:
• Beier Beirax II (Germany, ~1953)
• E. Ludwig Meritar 105 mm f/4.5
• Ilford XP2 Super 400
Just as I think “yeah, the ‘30’s range focusing Zeiss folder is cute but I probably won’t shoot with it again”, I look at the first 2 frames from the most recent roll with it & I then think, “damn, well that just speaks to the desolation of the human heart” & I ponder what stock to next load in it.
