Yes I know, another camera. This has been on my watch list for a few years and prices have been on the rise for decent working models.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Hunter Gilbert camera 6×9 120 roll film box camera. A British made camera from 1953. It’s stainless steel with some sort of lizard? skin cover.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It has a 105mm lens with f5.6 or f11 aperture and 1\/30 or 1\/50 shutter speed. Focus by adjusting the knurled lens, three distance settings on the side, barely visible. The viewfinder rotates 90 degree to change from portrait to landscape.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Adjusting exposure by pulling the two tabs on the upper front of the camera. So rather limited. And only 8 shots per roll.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It came with a roll of exposed film but sadly nothing worthwhile on it after developing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I loaded up a roll of Fomapan iso 400 and took it along on our trip to Potfest at Hutton in the Forest last Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It was bright sunshine, so loading iso 400 was a bad idea when you have 1\/30 or 1\/50 as options. The camera got its chance when we took a stroll through some of the woodlands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Today I popped to the studio to develop the roll. I was very surprised to find quite thin negatives, I was concerned about over exposure. I just couldn’t figure it out. The only thing I can think of is under development.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I had read 5 minutes in Ilfosol S at 20 degrees for ISO 100 instead of 8.5 minutes for ISO 400. Idiot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Although the negs were thin, and still wet I shot some frames quickly on my mobile phone camera. Not too bad. I’ll have to have another go.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

EDIT just found the film box. It was ISO 100 after all, I have no idea why I thought 400 when I was shooting. So its underexposed but correctly developed. I couldn’t get my head around it. I need to pay more attention.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
