Camera: Ihagee Dresden Exa I (produced between 1962 and 1964). Lenses: Ernst Ludwig Meritar 2.9/50mm, Feinmess Dresden Bonotar 4.5/105mm. Film: Kodak Ektachrome E100 slide/positive film.
August 2022 // I've promised the owner of the camera to find out if it still works. As you can see from the pictures, it does not really. So the result of this experiment is rather unsatisfactory, at least for me. No image editing.
Utzenbichl, Upper Bavaria, Germany. – The Feinmess Dresden Bonotar 4.5/105mm seems to cause a dark stripe in the lower part of pictures. While it's quite impressive in this picture, the stripe has made other pictures completly unusuable.
Apple tree near Albaching, Upper Bavaira, Germany. – The same problem with the Feinmess Dresden Bonotar 4.5/105mm as described in the first picture. An interesting effect has occured to the meadow in front of the tree.
Mary. Near Kraiburg am Inn, Upper Bavaria, Germany. – One of a few better pictures I've made with the Ernst Ludwig Meritar 2.9/50mm on the Exa I. Altough I've used aperture 11, it lacks depth of field.
Old bottles. Hammer mill Maximilian near Kraiburg am Inn, Upper Bavaria, Germany. – I like this picture! Lens: Ernst Ludwig Meritar 2.9/50mm.
Old receipts for beer deliveries. Hammer mill Maximilian near Kraiburg am Inn, Upper Bavaria, Germany. – Definitely underexposed and a little out of focus, but I like this interesting picture. Lens: Ernst Ludwig Meritar 2.9/50mm.
Lake Chiemsee near Breitbrunn, Upper Bavaria, Germany. – Another location, another scenery, and another try for the Feinmess Dresden Bonotar 4.5/105mm on the Exa I. This time it has caused a dark stripe at the top of the picture.
