MF Folding Camera Month

Yep, this is the reason good enough to take out my moskva 5 for a spin.

I shot some rolls of 6x9 this summer. I was going to print them later this winter, because my current main enlarger only only goes to 6x6. I got a old Federal enlarger in the closet to print the 6 x 9's, I will have to set it up and get printing.

James,

I'll get in on this one with my Adox Sport 6x9/6x6 folding camera.

Sounds like a great reason to fire up the Ziess Ercona 6x9. I'm in.

Hey whats wrong with my (original first model) 6.5x9 Plaubel Makina from 1930. It folds. Also has GG focussing, or a wildly inaccurate guess scale.

A shot from an August visit to the marina with "Spark", an Iskra 2 loaded with Astia 100F(not my boat though). Regards.

I think we should draw the line here. Vintage Paubels and Graphics are OK, but lets leave it at that.

Thanks VERY much for lending it to me, Jeremy! One day after I gave it back to you, I got my new (to me... 1945, I think) Agfa Billy Record in the mail. Yea!

Count me in! Worst case scenario, I'll submit a neg scan. Best case, a silver bromide paper enlargement or a POP contact print.

btw -- The Iskra seems in a class by itself. I'm sure I'll succumb and buy one for myself one day. I love the EV-lock on the lens barrel, just like a Hasselblad.

My Moskva 2 and Iskra are ready to go. I have been looking for an excuse to use them. Where do we post our entries?
