Striving
A few from the first roll with the Super Ikonta C that arrived a few days ago (Pic here).
The first two are straight scans, and show the low contrast I've read is typical of these old lenses, as well as lots of little black specks on the film. The specks are from the lining of the bellows, which is literally falling apart, and has separated from the bellows, blocking the light to one edge of the negative!
The last image shows the scan cleaned up a bit in photoshop, with the contrast bumped up a bit and some adjustment to highlights and shadows.
Worth an overhaul, I think!

The best camera is one that still works!
Definitely worth an overhaul Chris. They have such charisma the Ikontas ... good luck with it!
