I'm still working on a first roll in a Petri 7s I aquired recently. I snagged my step-dad's old petri and failed to get it back together after attempting to dismantle it and fix its hazy lens. Well, I could probably get it back together but I don't think it would be the same. In the extremely unlikely event he asks for it back, I picked up this one. It looks brand new, whoever owned it took great care of it. Shutter speeds sounds good, everything works really well I don't think it got used very much at all.

Nice shots, Natalia; certainly much to pleased about!
Scott, which lens does your Petri have? I have my Dad's old Petri 7s, and after cleaning it up I was surprised at how nicely the results turned out.

Excelent pictures, I am glad every time I see people rediscovering the glamour of old rangefinders.
The photographs of the pbase gallery are great.

Thanks,
Don

Thanks, guys. The color film was Fuji HQ 100 (expired by the way)...and for BW I used Kodak Professional 400 BW. I let Wal-Mart do the scanning. Not completely sattisfied though - there were lines across some photos...don't really know why.
Joe, for the Cadillac photo I just shot Yashica GSN wide open under incadescent lighting.

I've had the same problem with Walmart processing.. more common with B&W.. I won't go there any more
wait.. were the lines introduced in film processing or scanning?

Joe,
I've had that problem everywhere I go, with regards to scanning. I've tried camera specialty stores, photo processing specialty stores, professional labs (so-called) that are local, none seem able to make a decent scan consistently. One camear/photo shop was so bad looking at the results made me nostalgic for my hippy days in the late 1960's (good tripping). the scans were so out of whack in color and granulation that it reminded me of the background light shows at Filmore West when I saw Jimi Hindrix play for the first time, or at least what I remember of him playing. LOL!.
And that was the reason for my question. Guess I might have to break down and buy my own scanner. Surely I can do better than what I've seen coming out of local places.
Don

being a graphic artist, I've had professional experience with scanners for over a decade, and do all my own scanning.. for a regular flatbed scanner, I'd probably recommend Microtek.. I hear the newer Epson's are nice, too
I personally use a Umax flatbed.. excellent scan quality.. but the customer service of the company is none existent, so I don't recommend them at all
I haven't ventured into film scanners yet, so I can't comment

Joe, I am glad you asked. I was beginning to think there was something wrong with my camera. My negs look really good, no lines, but the prints had higher contrast than needed and those unexplained lines... I wonder what would be the best bang for the $$$ neg. scanner? |

Minolta Dual Scan IV! (At least that's what I want to buy soon...)
BTW, my 'el cheapo' Mediax 1800 also makes those lines, particularly when scanning dense B&W negs...

Roman,
I've been hearing that a lot lately, guess that's what I'll end up getting.

What about Pacific Image Prime-Film 3600, 3600 dpi, 35mm, Film Scanner ? It's only a few bucks more

here's a review that says the Minolta is the better scanner
http://www.ephotozine.com/equipment/...fm?test_id=171
one thing to keep in mind with scanners.. the scanning resolution (DPI) isn't necessarily the most important factor.. also check the dMax number.. typically between 3.5 and 4.0.. the higher the number, the better.. that means there will be more contrast between black and white, while maintaining details.. and that's what most of us value in our photos, right?

Well, my 'el cheapo' Mediax 1800 is just one of many rebrands of the Pacific Image 1800 (sold also as Reflecta, Hama, etc.), and it really sucks - that's why I would not trust the 3600, which is the follow-up model...
On the other hand, I have quite good experiences with a friend's Dual Scan III, that's why I want to get the current DS IV (which seems to heve been improved manly with regard to handling - e.g. better negative carrier).
