Top view of the Franka Solida IIL, a German-made 6x6 folding camera with a built-in light meter and a Tessar-type Schneider Xenar lens. This version dates from 1956 and has a flash connection that synchs with modern flashlights as well as the old magnesium flashes. The prontor SVS shutter has an automatic link so that when you set the aperture and shutter-speed if you turn the speed dial the aperture will automatically adjust to keep the same overall exposure. This can be regarded as clever assistance or a pain in the neck, depending on whether you want the two to move in step or not.
This photo was shot using a Pentacon Six medium format camera, a type that was designed in 1955, and Fomapan 200 black and white film. The quality is not perfect but I believe it meets the professional standards expected in the era these cameras were made, which was the objective of the project.

PLEASE NOTE: Any watermark that is displayed will not appear on purchased prints. Paul is a professional art, travel, nature and food photographer working with both high-end digital and medium and large format film. He went into photography after a 30-year career in journalism in the UK and Middle East.
