This was the first frame taken with an Ensign E29 camera. I've had the Houghton and Butcher Ensign E29 for many years, but never got around to using it, as it takes the long obsolete L29 rollfilm. I found a roll of this recently, it expired in 1938, and I wasn't surprised that when I shot it and developed it, the film was completely black. I used the spindle and backing paper to re-roll some cut down 120 film, the cutting was done with scissors in a changing bag, and is a bit rough! The white area is where the film got stuck together in the developer.
I started my 52 cameras in 52 weeks project on 1st January 2010. It got rather out of hand and lasted a whole decade. Each week, without fail, I used a different film camera, a total of 522.
After 10 years, I am relaxing the pace and using "new" cameras as and when I feel like it.
