Ansco No.3 VP Jr. #3

Charleston SC


A comparison scan of adjoining negatives. Even at 14" vertical on my screen,
for either exposure, I find it hard to see any difference in performance at the
apertures. Maybe, if I look really hard, the tree tops are more defined at ƒ128.
And the boardwalk may have a better definition? As for exposure, the slowest
marked speed is 1/25s. To make the ƒ128 exposure, I set the shutter at 'B' and
double pressed the release quickly. I'm guessing 1/2 sec. ;-) I conclude that the
lens and shutter combination is reasonably accurate at all speeds and settings
- somewhat of a miracle for this old camera. Now, it will sit on the shelf.

Using the 3m/10ft focusing click stop ...
