35mm with a 50's camera

[LowStandards]

Took a few film shots using my early 50's rangefinder, didn't take many as i didn't want to roll a few films off to find the rangefinder wasn't in focus or the shutter sticky etc.

They've come out pretty good, used expired film so lots of grain, the only issue i see is the viewfinder clearly shows more than the film plane so lots of missing heads and badly cropped cars, hey, its 60 years old!

Great shots, can't beat real photos taken on a real camera. As much as I like the fact digital photography allow you to share photos within seconds of taking them, I think you do lose something.

Cheers, like i said, with a bit of practice i'll include whole cars and peoples heads next time!

I'm pretty sure if i took the film to an actual photo shop rather than asda they could process it a little better as the colours seema little muted for my liking


Here's what i'm using, a 1956 Zorki 1 with colapsible Industar-22 lens

Wish I'd been able to make it to RRG, you'd have seen me lurking with a Lomo and Polaroids

Nice Zorki. I use an Industar 61L/D on my Leica almost as often as the proper lens...
