Just posted new pics (from August), click (or clack) here, and be prepared to be un-thrilled.   :eek: :p

nothing wrong with those, ....and it's exactly what the clack was designed to do.  despite the simplicity she is a very capable camera.-
i must admit though that i prefer shooting B&W in my clack.there is a certain vintage glow that just does not work with colour imho, but on B&W it just works .

Good shots Pete, but you really need to watch your lighting when doing portraits.

Yeah, Phil, maybe you didn't read my write-up?  Where I admonish myself for not using a lens hood?  :rolleyes:

I read that Pete, but it doesn't help when the light is behind your subjects.  Just saying.

Quote from my site write-up:
"But I wasn't expecting this result -- to my eye, everybody was in partial shadow, with the sun to the side."

Hey Pete I get my Clack this week the guy has been trying to get it to me all week. Started out when my daughter went into Labor... So you know my trouble. Think it is ready for some Lucky 100? Lucky may give it extra glow.

Larry, as with any box camera, I wouldn't use anything faster than 100 speed film unless it was night.

So Lucky 100 should be pretty good.  I love those Chinese films.

Well I shot this roll yesterday but used a roll of expired in 95 but frozen FP4+.  All shots with the yellow filter and how did I develop it? Well here is where it gets strange. Some of my friends have been using HC-110 at 1-100 or 1-119. I liked the results but I also like using Rodinal for my box cameras as it gives them and edge.  Pun intended. I wanted the edge but wanted to soften a liddle soI used 4ml of Rodinal and 1 ml of HC-110 mixed with 150ml of water.  One hour semi stand. I did one inversion at 30 minutes.

Nice roll Larry, I always thought that Customs House was a pretty neat place. Interesting development recipe, looks like it worked out pretty well for ya.
