Re: Old Cameras, Old Lenses, Old Emulsions

[Ted Bradshaw]

I use old cameras more often than not. My oldest regular RF "user" is a
Leica 111 made in 1936, and I use it frequently with a Leitz Summar from
1939, although more often with a 1951 3.5/50mm Elmar.

My oldest SLR "user" is a Spotmatic, generally with a 1.4/50mm Super
Takumar.

These older lenses give me wonderful results with modern colour slide films,
frequently "taming" their excesses in a very satisfying way. Sometimes I use
Provia, but more generally these days it's EBX.

Another very pleasing combination I have found, by the way, is Kodachrome 64
exposed in a Zeiss Contax 11A through a 1951 Zeiss Opton 1.5/50mm Sonnar.

Best wishes to all.

Ted Bradshaw.
