On the website from Foto Koch you can see a instax photo of us from the instax-WIDE-300-Testaktion 2016 competition next to a cool text about instax cameras. Check it out!

The Kodak Days! - The old pictures.

The Retina IIc box and a Retina Ia

Some months ago I bought at the Mimapi in Cologne an original Kodak Retina IIc (Typ 029, 1957–1958) box with many original Kodak filters and the sales receipt of the Retina inside it. The person bought the camera in 1957 for 318 DM. 

But there was also a small plastic can from Schmitt & Schmitt with three 35mm black&white Agfa Isopan F filmstrips inside it. One strip was a negative strip and the other two strips were contact strips. 

I think the negative strip was shot first, because the people were a little bit younger there. They posed in front of the Kölner Dom and the city of Cologne. You can recognize the great differences in comparison to today. The two contact strips are from 1960/61 and 1963, which was recorded on the back of the films. There they already had a little boy.

Colorize your day - part 3.

Last year in summer I shot some pictures with an orange and a spot green filter.
This time I shot some pictures with a B+W yellow filter (extension factor 3x) in combination with a Canon T70 and a Tokina 2.8/28mm lens. The film was an expired Agfa XRG 200.

You can find here some digital pictures of the session, which I shot with my smartphone.

Posing for Schiele. part 2.

For the second part I used a Migros Mcolor 100 film, which is in fact a labeld Fuji Super HR and is expired since 06/1992. Because of the age of the Migros I shot it @ ISO 25. The camera I used was once more the Praktica Super TL in combination with the Steinheil Auto Cassaron 2.8/50mm lens. In the first part I used the Carena CA 21 flash also with a red filter, but in the second part I just used it without filter.
