Circles - Lens

These circles are the lens of an old Voightlander Brilliant Camera
which belonged to my mother. She bought it as a young woman and
used to take photographs up until her death 27 years ago. I'm sure
it's still working if I could get film to use in it.

Superb shot. Love the black and white, and the depth of field and composition are pure magic.

Cool camera and great entry. Try eBay for film.

Excellent image. Brilliants take 120 film which is still freely available. Give it a go!
Guest 06-Jun-2008 04:52
Where do you make the white balance? ;-)
I am sure you could find film.
Dan Chusid06-Jun-2008 04:34
