I've been wanting to take film pictures of my cats for a long time, but the old box cameras I've mostly been using focus at 10', so I couldn't really take proper portraits of them. I got a snap-on close-up lens for the #Duaflex, and with that, the focus is at 3', which is just about right. That's how I took the first two pictures. The second pair are from a #Voigtländer bellows camera, my first "respectable" #MediumFormat camera, which lets you focus and adjust speed and aperture.

You can make that kind of adjustments on box cameras, thought it's pretty primitive--though I kind of like that.

The Duaflex pictures were color-adjusted with #Irfanview (they are probably underexposed), the Voigtländer pictures didn't need anything.

@14mission

Think it was a similar bellows camera i borrowed for photography class in the 1990s.

Photos of cherry trees and an old tractor; a cemetery poplar; and the high school's windowed stairwell are the ones i remember best.

~2.5inch negative captured the film grain in a gritty way.

Teacher asked if he could purcase the camera.
