Yeah, I know that. But filter factor charts usually start with 1x, not 2x. Since 2x is a full stop, then 1x is a half stop. No, I'm wrong about that. Here is the straight skinny, with charts! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_factor Turns out 1.4x is a half stop.

Ops... got it thanks!

As usual, when I want to do portraits I don't find them or not I had not the camera with me, but good weather is here so now I go biking to work (except the train part) means when I come back home I cross centre Moscow from west to east (about 7km) and last week I took this one and I got some results.
Most obvious is a new light leak in the bellows (fixing it now), the first is the Foreign Office Minister, second I took the same with Perkeo II but it was -15 and ice on the river, third a church near the post office. Fourth is the first shot I did to the fire emergency tools, not good composition but good about focus and tone range.
I see the lens its not super sharp but the tones I like them a lot.
Now its time to CLA the Inos II shutter, open-close mechanism, collimation (I did nothing on her since I bought her)






Thanks for watching.

Other than the bellows leak, you have a really great camera there, Alex.

Some shots from the last roll with the Inos II after collimation and inside cleaning.

This one I had to put blacks and white in place, too few light for this camera at that moment because this sun light was reflected on from window at my back, I have to come back to re-take the photo again.


Hospital near my house.


Again this panorama, the clouds where asking me to take the photo


Again this, remember it was a focus test


Thank you for watching.

Very nice, Alex.

When you're doing the close-ups, Alex, take one step back. Better to have to crop a little, than chop something off. I like the spot-lighting on the statue. Could be something you might want to spend some time to see just when it is at its peak.
