commie cameras

I've been playing with using the tilt-all back on my Mamiya Super 23. I've been using my FEDs as test subjects. My first FED is dialed in but I haven't had time to really take it out. My second one still needs a little more adjustment. This pictures were shot on color tungsten film (Fuji NPL) but I'm becoming enamored of black and white again and so black and white they are. Shooting close in with a 100mm lens means shallow depth of field but I can tilt the back to bring out of focus areas into focus. This is something I've read about for years but never did. I need a view camera.


FED 2e with Industar-50 50mm/f3.5 copllabsible.
Great for sticking in a coat pocket. Now I need to get a coat with pockets.


FED 2e with Jupiter 8 50mm/f2.
A sharp lens that can be used for available darkness.


FED 2e with Jupiter 12 35mm/f2.8.
A wide angle street shooter.
