I don't know how I lasted as long as I did in Houston. 10 minutes into being outside in early spring and I'm sweating out of every pore in my body.

Lord, take me back to West Texas.

While usually I can't stand photos of the back of someone's head, the alternative here would have been for me to be in the water.

Come visit Marfa and I'll make you some! But the soup itself is Sancocho (ox tail soup)

I'm a big fan of the Rollei SL26 and the negative size and aspect ratio of the mostly dead 126 🎞️ format.

I've written up a guide on an alternative way to shoot 126 as well as provided some 3d printable files to modify cartridges. Samples in the replies.

I'm a big fan of deep focus photography and the Chevrons f32 aperture gives me more than enough focal depth especially when paired with such a fast film.

My four faves.

Unlike other companies that were cloning German designs, Kodaks designs were rooted in American design trends. Also unlike their contemporaries, the engineer wasn't also the designer, they paired designers with their lead engineer.

The Medalist, Chevron, Signet 40 and Signet 80.

Unfortunately, it just couldn't get a good footing against German and Japanese cameras of the era. It's style is very "love it or hate it" (I love it) and very "Late 50's American."

It would be Kodaks last attempt at a interchangeable lens rangefinder, a market they could never quite figure out.

The lenses are quite nice especially stopped down a bit.

The multi-frame attachment is a delight for composing for all three lenses.

The max speed of 1/250 is my biggest issue after the 1/400 on the Signet 40 (and even the 1/300 on the 35). It's a case of user friendliness beating out features.

The Arthur Crapsey desiged camera came with three lenses a 50mm, a 35mm, and a 90mm. The 50 and the 90 are both 4-element triplet designs and the 35mm is a six element heliar design, only the 50m is branded as an Ektanar.

The 50mm and the 35mm are radioactive lenses due to thorium oxide.

There isn't too much online about the 1958 Kodak Signet 80 and that's a shame.

It would have been about $1400 adjusting for inflation and was a decidedly prosumer release... it was also a flop. Read on for more about this gem and some more pictures. 🧵
