New From Old

 

From the test roll run through the IIIb and 50 Elmar over the weekend. OK for an 85 year old camera body and a perhaps 75 year old lens. The sharpness actually surprised me a little. Avoid potential flare situations, and the old glass can hold its own. HP5 at EI 200, HC-110 dil H, full afternoon sun. 

Everything seems to work, so done with the IIIb for a while. Next step is to test some fairly economical film for general use in more modern gear, everything needed arrived today.
