We've just returned from our trip to the Netherlands, and I'm starting to post new photos! Of course, there was no way to not take a film roll and an analog camera. 📷 It was the first time I shoot photos with a rangefinder, if you like it, please stay tuned because there will be more to come! I took this shot in Amsterdam with the Zorki 4 camera (an old Soviet rangefinder) from 1966. 🥰
Gear:
• Zorki 4 (KMZ, 1966)
• Jupiter-8 50 mm f/2 (KMZ, 1967)
• Kodak Professional Portra 400/36
I'm back to living after a tough experience. This time a cute bunny, another photo from the same roll as before, more material already waiting to be published! 😊
This is one of my favorite shots from a recent photo shoot. In the center at the end is the Starorobocinski Wierch, the highest peak in the Western Tatras in Poland.
Gear:
• Yashica TL Electro X ITS (~1971)
• Yashica Yashinon-DS 50 mm f/1.7
• Kodak Professional Portra 400/36
I might be a little late to the party, but: Happy 5,25" #floppydisk Day to everyone! Here you can see a sample of my #vintage#storage#media collection =) guess which one the 5 25" inch is. 💾
This week's #SundayLunch is a salad made with gelatin and canned soup. Yes, salad. It says so right in the title.
Try it at home! (Or don’t.) #vintage#food#Campbells
Another #vintage#FountainPen brought back to life, Garant Silka from 1960s East Germany made in Leipzig. Got the nib tools I ordered from Pendragons in the UK today. Spent about an hour unbending and realigning this nib. Writes pretty well now. The nib itself has a defect of uneven tipping so it catches a bit on upstrokes, but it’s not a very noticeable problem and it would be complicated for me to fix, so I’m just going to leave it.
Progress on restoring #vintage Geha Schulfüller from the as-is #FountainPen lot. Pen cap was cracked and nib was misaligning itself when writing, piston was stiff.
So far I’ve:
Solvent-welded the cap to seal the crack
Knocked out nib and feed and realigned the feed, put them back in collar and realigned the nib.
Dripped silicone grease into the piston knob and barrel, piston much smoother now.
