shirubadanieru Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share #201  Posted January 14, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Eye balling it works! All shot guessing the distance, at f3.5 1/60. Only the MFD one where I needed critical focus were focused using the accessory rangefinder. Amazing lens, hard to believe it’s close to 100 years old. Really happy with this camera, thanks everyone for inspiring me! Welcome, dear visitor!

shirubadanieru Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share #202  Posted January 14, 2023 Above shots at MFD, below shots guessing distance at 5m + mostly. Same settings, f3.5 1/60, minus the night shot which I believe was at 1/20. Welcome, dear visitor!

Has it always had the same dimensions up to the present day hot shoe? I have wondered about that. It is such a simple, common, universal part. Someone should be recognised as its inventor. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmans Posted January 25, 2023 Share #204  Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) I find shooting by distance (a true rangefinder in  that sense) is almost faster and easier than modern rangefinders. I have a Barnack 1 Model A.... I love it.  I just picked up the attachment and haven't used it, other than seeing how it works on the camera etc. But I can see where, while it might look clumsy, it does work and it takes the guessing out of estimating although really, estimating distance is not that hard. I shot a few rolls of film estimating distance and just about all of my shots came out in focus, so I was happy....  I really enjoy the look of old photography, so why not shoot with old camera + lens 🙂 In fact I am thinking of taking this one down to Australia instead of my MA!....  jim Welcome, dear visitor!

shirubadanieru Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share #206  Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Reporting back after playing with the 1A for a while! I did love the camera, the most beautiful barnack ever & produced great results! It also made me realize I can actually guess a lot easier that I thought possible! That being said, I do a lot of family portraits wide open, etc & it simply was too annoying to use the rangefinder attachment or to 'guess' with the probability of failure being higher when shot at f3.5 (film is not cheap these days you know hehe)! So, while I loved it, I decided to exchange it for the first Barnack model I tried & fell in love with, the Model D (II). Beautiful camera & a pleasure to use! I think this is the Barnack for me  Paired with an early type Elmar 50mm (uses a different glass from regular post 1930 Elmars). Welcome, dear visitor!

I like the CV 40mm f2.8 Heliar a lot, also use mine on my MP and M10-R. As good as my 50mm red scale elmar is, I only use it on my iiif, it feels completely wrong and somewhat lost on an M camera.  The CV 40mm Heliar doesn't, it's a seamless swap between my iiif and M cameras. Great little lens!  6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
