Ron (Netherlands)'s photostream

Just to try out one of my Jupiters in relatively low light. This Jupiter 3 is from 1961 and is in LTM. The lens was made by: Zagorsky Optiko-Mechanichesky Zavod.

Wanted to shoot some fabric to test one of my recently acquired Jupiter 3 lenses (50mm f 1.5 - this one from 1961). Therefore took a (new :-)) suit and a FED 2 for which I just had finished the repair (new shutter curtains) for a fellow member.
Wish you all the best for 2012!

This is the timetable on top of the camera (near the viewfinder). It says in German:

"Federspannung": strength of the shutters' spring;
"Belichtungsd(auer): shutter speeds;
"Schlitzbreite": slit width.

The thing that puzzles me is that there are different possible settings of the strength of the shutters' spring, but only one is mentioned in the table.

Latest addition to the collection. A camera manufactured by Heinrich Ernemann. This camera was probably manufactured in 1920 and meant for the tropics. I'm not sure what kind of wood the camera is built, probably teak. I still have to clean the camera a little and to CLA the shutter; it runs but not as smooth as it should run.

At the right side there are two knobs. The upper know is for winding the shutter. The below knob is for setting the slit width of the shutter curtains: this camera has a focal plane shutter.
At the left side of the camera there is a small know for setting the strength of the shutter.
