A waist level viewfinder may be my gateway to a little street photography here and there. Not something I'm hugely comfortable with but looking down is so much less intrusive than aiming a camera at eye level.

Boy, my cleaning attempt really seems to have exacerbated the whole scratch issue.

Scanned this negative as b&w and the previous one with color settings which produced a slightly warmer tone. Not sure what the conventional wisdom is on scanning and if sepia toned images are all post-processed. Caffenol blogs are all over the place on the topic. Some get a little fiesty about their soups!
One more camera issue - the dark line at the top of the frame?

The fine vertical lines all over the negative aren't rain drops - they're scratches. Tons of scratches. My Ikoflex "fix" was a bust. Bought 0000 steel wool to smooth the painted sides of the film gate, but chickened out and just used distilled water and a microfiber cloth to clean the oxidized black paint. Dusty, dry old paint lifted right off with just a gentle wipe, so I hoped the really thorough cleaning might have fixed it. It didn't. Have to decide on whether to send it out for professional help. Thoughts?
As I was already testing for scratches, I made it a double-test roll and tried out Caffenol-C for the first time. Ran all over God's creation looking for Ascorbic Acid powder to no avail. Eventually gave up, bought a bargain bottle of Vitamin C tablets, and just crushed them. Seemed to work fine and was a fun experiment.
At least one of the tests worked out.
