Cool! Where the heck did you find one of those? Didn't they stop making them in the 40s? I know nothing of them other than they're really REALLY old.

process:
- find old camera at antique shop
- fix/clean camera
- if necessary take camera to local shop for service
- shoot photos
- develop film in basement
- scan and tweak photos
- feel accomplished

The chair with the shadows, the textures, the dates on the wall. Gorgeous photo.

You got any pictures of the camera itself?
Antique photography is really cool

Love the Super Ikonta. Got some great landscapes out of the 6x6 model a while back.

Thanks. Mostly just got lucky to be out in the Shenandoahs on a day where the cloud cover was just right for this sort of thing.
