Often simply written as "W/NW" - your favorite photos. Explain them, or let your photos (film or digital) speak for themselves.

The whole lens assembly moves for focusing, not just the front element, and it doesn't rotate. Besides the 3 set screws of the focusing ring, there is one more for setting infinity that helps with assembly and keep the lens colimated.
I managed to clean the gear that cocks the shutter enough for it to work until I figure out how to reach the whole assembly.

Lightmeter (BEWI Automat) works fine outside (EV 10 and above) and it was within 1/2 stop of a Gossen handheld lightmeter

Loaded some old EFKE KB100 (Bought in Berlin in 2010) but the roll was too short (10 exp).

Inside photo, I used the built-in lightmeter (BEWI) and 15/3.5 seemed OK, however it's underexposed so below EV8 is not trusty.

I may have also underdeveloped as water is quite cold and I did the time compensation in my head from 10 to 12:30, maybe another minute was needed.

Oh, you should have mentioned that on Flickr, Pablo. I purchased the large viewfinder model (which the BL is based on) a while back, and found the lens assembly to be much different than the original B. I couldn't get it to separate from the body, so I just put it back together and into storage. I did a CLA on one for a friend of mine which was slightly different than mine, so it had the better shutter as I recall. It wasn't harder to do, just different.

Very nice results. I love that second picture, and the curled-up dog.

After a few trials, the Super Solinette was tested and results look good!
no light leaks and photos are good! Waiting for the negatives to dry
