Default Picx from 1931 Nagel w/Leitz lens

Well, here they are. while the images are nothing to write home about, I've at least confirmed the camera works and doesn't have any light leaks. These were scanned on my pos flat bed so the images weren't helped in that regard. If I ever shoot it again I will close up the shutter a bit more. The first one was f5.6, the others f8, all at 1/100. Efke 127 film, ISO 100.

I think that its outstanding that you cared enough to shoot with the Nagel and to post the images. Every vintage camera ought to used at least once. There may be pressure plate issues resulting in a less than flat film plane. On the other hand, I can see very romantic beach images and landscapes resulting from the traits on display.

This is what a hobby is all about.

Thanks for the replies. For sure, if you want the vintage look in your images - use a vintage camera! The rangefinder is missing on this camera so all focusing is done by scale or guesstamating as I am not all that good with meters
