So I got a box of cameras from someones attic. Crap mostly. I was hopeful for the Kodamatic, and it DOES work, but the film expired in '85 and is practically useless. The Canonet seems like a good camera in general but the shutter and the aperature blades are completely stuck. The rest is some agfa stuff either not working or using 126 film. So the only camera that actually (mostly) works is a Porst FX 4 with a Meyer Görlitz Domiplan 50mm f2.8. I'm kinda disappointed because I'd been waiting for that particular box for months and now it's really not of much use/beyond repair/LQ.

I'll post some test shots I did with the Porst on HP5 anyway. Maybe I can at least kill a gearfag thread with this and all of my anticipation will not have been for naught.

Really not pleased with the optical quality of the lens. Shitty GDR glass is almost as bad as shitty soviet glass.

Neat photos OP, but I hate the processing.
They look like they're either massively overexposed/developed or over-sharpened.
And is it just me, or do 50mm tessars just always make everything look old fashioned?
It's like they just flatten everything out.
Pic related, Agfa Color-Solinar.

That would be over-sharpened then. I just felt that the scans were way way too soft. Sharpening does bring out the grain, but using shitty glass and HP5 it's not like I went for a clean, high-quality picture anyway.
