Beautiful analog photography. The composition and tonal range captured in this image is exceptional. The vintage camera work really shines through in this piece.

Comment on Olympus Pen F : Writing postcards by Pedro Meza

Thank you very much for your short and to the point report on the Pen-F.of which I own two and have various lenses for them. I truly liked your idea of creating postcards and I plan to do the same. The best fact about the Pen-F when combined with the accessory lenses is that everything fits into a small backpack. I also have a lense adapter so that other lenses can be used.

Good Evening Pierre,
Just want to say thank you for this article. I recently picked up dozens of cameras from an estate sale and Meopta Flexaret Automat V1. Oh yeah in addition to that I also have a beautiful perfectly conditioned leather case for it as well. I appreciate your article I am going to save this forever. Wish me all the best as I wish you thank you again. Sincerely, Carmella Scallion

In reply to Denis Filzen. I've gotten some informaton about PC-TEA developing times from a lab in China (where I live). At 1:25 dilution, use the same times as D-76 stock. At 1:50, use the same times as D-76 1+1. At 1:100, use the same times as Rodinal 1:100 or just general (semi) stand development.

In reply to LE MANDAT. Bonjour et merci pour votre commentaire. En effet, j’ai écris cet article il y a quelques années et l’obturateur est encore défectueux. C’est une vrai galère à réparer et on se pose sans cesse la question de la fiabilité quand on l’utilise. Au passage, votre article est extrêmement complet et détaillé ! Il donne une bonne base de décision sur l’achat potentiel d’un Flexaret.

Cette famille d’appareil est délicate à réparer en raison de la complexité de la construction. Sans ostracisme je déconseille l’achat de ces appareils sauf s’ils sont en parfait état de fonctionnement. Je suis parvenu à faire un appareil fonctionnel et précis à partir de deux appareils mais je ne recommencerai pas car j’y ai passé beaucoup de temps.

In reply to Harold Klee.

@ Harold Klee: Boiling point for TEA is appr. 335*C (635*F), so reaching 250*F is not a problem (unless, of course in a waterbath…).
However, it is desirable to keep the temperature to a minimum needed to dissolve phenidone and asc.acid. Higher than nescessary temp is likely to affect the ‘longevity’ of the mix….

If heating in a waterbath: TEA (as well as glycol) is somewhat hygrosopic (absorbs water from the air). Keep the bottle closed, and dry it off before opening! Any water into the mix, and the keeping properties definitely will go down.

@ Pierre Killmayer: Thank you for a very nice article!
