Test Shot - No 3-A Folding Brownie Model A (Ilfospeed 1.1M Grade 1) (In Explore)

            See previous photo for the camera that took this.  Image size:  13.8 x 8.3cm (5 1/2 x 3 1/4") squarely large-format territory.

Aegerital, Zug, Switzerland as of today - a bit cold and dreary, not great visibility and not the best day for a test shot but hey....

Kodak No 3-A Brownie Model A Circa 1910, 
Bausch & Lomb optics.  f/128, 1s hand-timed exposure
Ilfospeed 1.1M Grade 1 (expired, not refrigerated) @  ISO 25
Moersch Eco 4812 3 mins @ 20C
Epson XP-960 scanner
Simple inversion in PS.

The expired Ilfospeed 1.1M was a real surprise.  Grade 1 paper seems pretty ideal for this type of shot, as I didn't have to monkey around in PS with gamma, contrast etc.  Pity, I only have one box of this left and it's out of production.

Another (huge) advantage of using print paper: You can cut it to size and load it with a red safe light.

To be honest, I am quite surprised this shot got Explored.  Was only a test shot .... On the other hand, it's not every day that an ancient camera sees light after a 100+ year hiatus!
