Title: Stopping time...
Post by: Jacques Pochoy on July 03, 2015, 17:13:09: One of my first tries with the newly bought 105mm f/2.5 AIs in the small city of Bièvres, just on the outskirts of Paris. Time seems still with this old urban house and paved street... !

time's witnesses. One element of today another of 100 years ago.
Inspiring imaination of all the people having passed by this corner.

Thank you Fons... :-) B&W used to be my favorite with film, because I could do the whole process from the negatives to the prints. Even with digital I still find it interesting !

I guess most are in working state ! They used to be the very first camera for many... So many dreams of "Blow up" and other adventures discarded in that 64 liters box...!

A bit of all, from the Kodak instamatic cassette to the "Dx" one, but some are for good old 135 format...!

I agree, but still miss those different paper qualities (Baryum and al) that can't translate in screen pixels !!!
