Following on from my decade long project in which I used a different film camera each week, 522 in total, I have relaxed the pace and set myself a monthly camera project each year. My dad was born 100 years ago in 1924, he collected old cameras and died age 91 in 2015. In this centenary year I've decided to use one of his favourite cameras each month. Febuary's camera is the Zeiss Ikon Tenax II which makes square neagaties on 35mm film. The film is Fomapan 200, developed in Rodinal 1:50 for 9 minutes at 20 degrees.

Following on from my decade long project in which I used a different film camera each week, 522 in total, I have relaxed the pace and set myself a monthly camera project each year. My dad was born 100 years ago in 1924, he collected old cameras and died age 91 in 2015. In this centenary year I've decided to use one of his favourite cameras each month. January's camera is the Zeiss Ikon Contarex “Bullseye”. It's a big heavy camera, and is arguably over-engineered. The exposure meter no longer works, and as I discovered, the film advance is not reliable, with overlapping frames in the second half of the film. The film is Rollei Retro 400s, developed in Rodinal 1:50 for 18 minutes at 22 degrees.

In 2023 I'm using as many of my half-frame cameras as I can. These four frames were taken with an Olympus Pen-D on expired Fuji Velvia slide film, cross-processed processed in the Fuij Hunt C41 kit. Collaged image converted to black and white.

The Lomo Apparat is the new novelty camera from Lomography. It has a 21mm lens and comes with a kaleidoscope filter and a close up lens, together with a splitzer device. Multiple exposures are possible, and the built in flash comes with a range of coloured filters. All in all it's a fun camera to play around with. This photo is from one the first two rolls I put through it to get a feel for how it performs.
This was taken with the kaleidoscope filter.
