Default "No Dogs"

Shaking down a new 2 me camera on Saturday afternoon.


The Ford is no dog.

The camera makes a 6X10 inch film negative. Compared to megapixels, this is brute force. Like a 427 in a Fairlane.

A few more images here if you like the artsy fartsy stuff. A lot of camera speak for car guys though.

So, is this better than a phone camera?

Looks nice, and I wish my Phaeton looked that good. My steering wheel has some cracks, but you'll have to explain that missing chunk in your's

I've seen chunks missing, but that looks like it was cut all the way around.

Probably for a spinner install?
Nice shot by the way, I like the composition.

That's the problem with a good camera. All the flaws show up. When I got the car it had a 1930 column and wheel. The one in it now is a junkyard one that has 1929 roadster written on it in white junkyard paint. Found a bit better wheel, but the light switch rod is so fragile I'm afraid to mess with it. It's all working, so I leaves it alone.

I have some long rolls of 10" B&W film that I'm cutting up. I have a flatbed Epson that scans the negatives.
