Yeah, luckily it was just a friendly sniff/lick - they were pretty docile cows.

Two of the very first shots I ever made with a Nettar (or any classic folder), back in April 2005

[Mr_Flibble]

Unfortunately I sold the Nettar two years ago. I miss it though, so I'll probably get another one in the near future.

A much visited scene, which one day I hope to get just right...




The park bench on a 6x6 Kershaw 450 at around max aperture.
Note the swirly OOF areas building.

Nice camera and unexpectedly good for its three element OTAR lens.

Another from the Kershaw 450. A "green lane" looking wet and muddy in the Saddleworth moors area.



Great detail in this scan, cropped out a little of the bland sky.

You know, I was thinking the same thing! Looksing at all the amazing photos here, from all sorts of old vintage cameras - why would one need a new 667 folder, that costs so much more, but I wonder if it delivers any better results.

Aswome photos everyone! Keep them coming!

Interesting question. My sense is that the new Fuji/CV folder will produce photos to equal or higher quality to those from the old folders. My Iskra 2 does a beautiful job but the new Fuji/CV folder will be vastly easier to use with a working meter, easier focusing, and a much brighter viewfinder. It will cost 8 times more than my Iskra 2 but ease of use usually means more photos taken and a higher percentage of acceptable shots. A higher percentage of acceptable analog photos means a measurable lower cost per photos. But it would take a lot of acceptable photos to makeup for an 8-fold higher cost of entry.

Couple more from the Super Isolette

XP2


Fuji 160C

[Windscale]

The Solinar on the Super Isolette is probably the best lens ever made by Agfa. I think it is also a class above the Solinars on the ordinary Isolette models.

Way, I also like your bows!

There is a point at which an old camera's "charm" becomes a "chore." Losing the better part of a roll from a light leak in the Iskra because I did not take enough care when putting the back on...or losing 4 frames with my Balda because of the finicky film advance...those things wiegh pretty heavily on the mind when it comes time to decide which cameras to slip in the bag.
Also, many of my shooting opportunities are grab shot when with the family and they are not patient. Therefore I rush and make more errors, or hesitate to take the extra moments to get out the light meter, etc....
I love my old folders, but I'd buy the 667 in a heartbeat if it would not be such a financially irresponsible thing to do.

I would beg to differ regarding the new Fuji. It all depends on one's idea of a good lens. Judging from the performance of Fuji lenses in their GW6x9 models, one can bet on a very sharp lens with high and contrasty colours.

But there are also those like yours truly who would go for the less contrasty but more shadow details produced by older German lenses. Photographs produced by these lenses may be less sharp, but definitely more creamy, and much less easy to cause eye-fatique when being looked at for a longer time.

I hope I will be able to try the new Fuji soon. And I will reserve my comment after that event. But how I judge len performance would remain the same.

The Fuji 100/3.5 on my GL690 RF camera is very sharp by any standard. It is the only camera lens that has challenged the Planar lens on my Rolleiflex 2.8D TLR.
