Just for fun! World War II original … Kodak 2238 shot at ISO 25 ( Sunny 16) and developed for 13 minutes in H&W Control 1:15 dilution. Agitated 1st 30 seconds and then 6 seconds every minute. Water stop and rinse 3 minutes, fixed in Ilford Hypam 1:4 for 3 minutes. 5 min final rinse. This is my first roll from a Kodak 35mm RF from 1945. Rangefinder is a bit off, I think, but I was trying to see both how well the RF and the lens itself were doing. Mechanically everything else seemed to work fine. I did one double exposure because Kodak said I can’t with this camera, but it looks like I can… I shot a couple with a Kodak Series VI blue (very light blue) filter. Don’t know which ones lol. DOF is a bit off and who knows where infinity is? It isn’t at the end of the rainbow or the end of my focus wheel. These are fun and I love the nostaligic look… wonderful self portrait, and my trailer again, just for the hell of it!

    Good job. That camera you showed I thought was made in the 70's, it just has that advanced look to it. I keep forgetting to use one of my pale blue filters on especially model shots interior to give it that old-timey look. The Kodak filter you used, it came with this particular Kodak camera?

    @neufotomacher Yes, the camera is 75 years old, according to the lens date. The blue filter which is very faint came with the camera and appears to be original, it had about 5 color filters. The lens is very soft with a lot of cleaning marks. I thought maybe the focus was off, but I'm not sure it gets better. But I like it....
