Ikoflex II/III circa 1938
Zeiss Triotar 75mm f3.5 + Ikoprox
Fomapan 100

Shot from a test roll through my Christmas present.

Used the Ikoprox that fits the Tessar on my Ikoflex Ic for this close-up. It's a bit too large for the Triotar lens on this earlier model, so I just held it in place. The shadow of the metal casing did cause some vignetting, but it works with this composition.

Film spacing was a little wacky on this first roll, with too much separation between frames, but the shutter speeds seem to be sound.

For an almost 80 year old piece of gear that's still turning out images - it's OK if it has a few quirks.

She's a good test roll model.

Being the best test roll model is utterly exhausting.

Second best test roll model.
But it's not a close competition.
Molly doesn't sigh when I get out my tripod.
