Amateur photographer and occasional football supporter, or the other way around. I collect broken cameras and guitars I can't play. Also print in the darkroom whenever I can
I do have images, but they’re so underexposed. Oh well.

Managed to roll with expired Tri-X and shot it in the park this afternoon. Possibly the first time someone shot a Meikaifkex in Europe ever?

Now what I needed was either to modify an existing standard 35mm spool so that it fits inside the camera, or buy a spare compatible one. I found a (relatively) cheap Photavit spool on eBay so went with the second option. I’ve just received it from 🇩🇪 , so I am ready to spool with live film!

Trying to manually roll with some used 35mm film… I need to calculate the correct length and if possible write down frame numbers

Someone brought me this as a gift from 🇯🇵. Isn’t this baby lovely?
No, it’s not a 127 format camera like the Baby Rolleiflex, it’s even smaller

I see people posting dyptichs for the world wide half-frame photography day, which is cool, but why stop at two frames? #wwhfpd (shot with Chaika-2)

Absolutely loved the results I got in medium format with orange filter (and the help of this glorious late winter afternoon sun)

First roll of Kentmere 200, shot in Paris and Strasbourg on my beloved half-frame Agfa, and developed in Ilfotec LC 29. Love the results so far!

One of my favourite photographs I took in 2024. Lovely evening light, and the beach was absolutely deserted as everyone was watching the olympics’ opening ceremony

Half-frame + grain doesn’t scan too well with my flatbed scanner, but the prints look fine to me 😍
