Full-Vue camera results are in

Spartus1 — The Full-Vue I bought last month didn’t exactly deliver crisp images. Maybe the overcast day was to blame.

I just received images back from The Darkroom of test film I shot a couple weeks ago with a Spencer Co. Full-Vue. I still need to do more work with this 120 format faux TLR camera to determine how well it does in brighter conditions.

My choice of film might have caused the less-than-stunning results. I usually get good latitude from Kodak Tri-X, but these photos just didn’t exhibit much shadow detail. I’m thinking Ilford XP2 might yield snappier tones. I also bought some redscale film to try in the Full-Vue, but that’s for a later time.

Overall, I’d say that the Spencer Co.’s camera is slightly less impressive than a Holga.

Other examples from my test roll. . . .

One thought on “Full-Vue camera results are in”

Speaking of cameras, today I found a camera that uses four lenses simultaneously. Called the K4MERA, the end result is a sort of 3d photo/video.

I’m commenting on this post, because I wanted to share this camera with you, so I searched your WordPress for: camera. This was one of the posts that came up. Plus, it’s fun commenting on posts that are further back in the archive. Giving them a sort of new life. First I want to your Substack to find a camera post, but it looks like Substack doesn’t let you search within a user’s posts. Bonus points for blogs!
