Oxford: Ensign Reflex test

Monday, September 16th, 2024

After replacing the ground glass screen in my Ensign reflex camera I wanted to test it out so I lugged it into town last Sunday morning and here are some shots from that roll. The image is clearer and brighter than before but I’m still struggling to nail focus. The mirror is anything but crisp and looks to be covered in a layer of hazy fog. I’ll have to send it off for re-coating. I can’t reach infinity focus which makes this setup more suited for portraits.

[Tech info:] Ensign Special Reflex, Aero Ektar lens, Delta 100 (expired), developed in Promicrol, 1+19.
