1971 Pentacon Six

A 6x6 transparency I got back from my agency as they were having a 'clear out' of 'hard copy'photos -- that means traditional slide photos are OUT and dreaded digital is IN ! Taken in 1973 on a trip to Japan, Kyoto. I used my old Braun Hobby EF330 flash on my 1971 Pentacon Six.
This is my 1971 bought East German 'Pentacon Six' with the Carl Zeiss 'Jena' 80mm f2.8 Biometar and the extension tube set I use for Close-ups. I can get 13 frames from a 120 film and 27 frames from a 220 film ! I do not like the very slow 1/20th flash synch speed though.
Taken some years ago, I got the 6x6 transparency back from my agency as they were having a 'clear out' of 'hard copy' photos -- that means slide film is OUT and the dreaded digital is IN ! I tried a sample roll of 120 ORWO UT18 film with my Braun Hobby flash. It was never used in my agency.
I had some outdated Kodak Portra 160 VC to use up so I took this with flash and a Pentacon Six extension tube.
Taken in 1973 on my only trip to Japan-- this was in the files of my agency for many years, un-used -- now they are having a 'clear-out' of all film photos.

I had some outdated Kodak Portra 160 VC to finish -- I took this close-up with Pentacon Six extension tube .
