A set of five images in Barcelona taken with a FED 5B camera with Industar 61 L/D on HP5+. The camera and lens were bought at a local flea market for less than the price of two rolls of film. Unfortunately, the shutter cloth is deteriorating and the faded and miscalibrated rangefinder patch is best avoided, so the camera has seen only a couple of films. The lens needed some home repair and cleaning to remove dried grease on the focusing helicoid, but gives excellent results and is easily comparable to vintage Leica glass costing orders of magnitude more.
Early morning Barcelona is excellent for strongly backlit images, and HP5 is very forgiving of any exposure inaccuracies. However, you have to be careful not to burn the shutter curtains when shooting in to the low sun.
