GA35E Progress

[John Wojtowicz]

So far I have finished one roll of slides. I shot the first half with my Ciro 35, and got pretty good exposures in general. I then reloaded the film into a Kodak 35RF and shot off the rest of the roll. These were mostly overexposed. Oops, I'm sorry, I meant to say High-key.

I shot the first half of a second roll with a cleaned up Argus C3, and the remainder of that roll is now in a Bolsey B. Can I actually take sharp handheld pictures with a Bolsey? Find out in December!

The second roll of film revealed that the Argus C3 is a capable camera. The shots were made on a drizzly day and were handheld, so it may be an unfair comparison with the other cameras.

The Bolsey B failed to fire a few times, but otherwise pictures were obtained. But were they sharp? See in December.

IMHO the Bolsey is a capable performer only under the following conditions: Use a tripod and a cable release or use an "ell" bracket with a cable release. The nature and poor design of the shutter release causes the operator to  create shutter shake! This same problem afflicts the Argus A model but to a lesser extent. sincerely, finnfoto
