I took my Zeiss ikon Nettar 515 for nightly testdrive last week, it was the first time I used this cam and I noticed that it's really hard to get good compositions with the pop-up viewfinder. The camera is a medium format folder that shoots 6x9 negatives, it's also really well built.

I wanted to take a stab at some medium format night photography, so I loaded to Nettar with a roll of Shanghai GP3 and went outside to shoot some nearby streets. All exposures were between 30 and 60 seconds at f22.

Another abandoned German coalmine. Massive buildings, epic machinery, and of course some nice kaues.

A while ago, someone gave me about 8 rolls of long expired (I'm guessing around 30 years past date) Kodak plus-X. I decided to shoot a roll with my panamate to see if the film was still useable. I developed the roll in HC-110 (dilution H) for about 10 minutes, and I was surprised to see that the negatives were quite ok. There's a lot of base fog and the grain is pretty big, but the negatives were easy to scan.

Another abandoned hospital, this one was being stripped for reconversion while we were there though. Still, there were some intact parts of the building to be found.

The Lubitel 2, a TLR. I loaded this camera with its first roll of film about 6 months ago, and i've only gotten around finishing it recently. I guess the waist level viewfinder is just too unwieldy for my taste.
