Test Roll(s): FilmNeverDie Sora 200 – 135

For the love of all that is not a complete mess – don’t stick experimental photographic film through baggage scanners and have them x-rayed half a dozen times like an idiot.

Did I need another camera? No, nobody needs another camera. Did I want another cheap, light camera with an M42 mount? You bet I do. Since my last M42 purchase was somewhat imperfect I thought that was enough reason to give this one a go. This test roll was taken with my Helios-44M 58mm f/2 and the Auto Exaktar 35mm f/2.8 that came with the EXA 1c.

The seller let me choose between a Pentacon 50mm or the Auto Exaktar; while the Pentacon has a somewhat cultish following not unlike the Helios, I wanted a 35mm lens. You can tell from some of these photographs that the lens is decentered and about a quarter of the frame is out of focus on the far right. It's not that obvious when you are using it in portrait which, fortunately for me, is something I am doing a lot these days. Interestingly the lens is marked as made in Korea, something which I've never come across.

The shutter for the EXA cameras is located on the left front of the body and it takes a bit of getting used to, especially if your copy comes with the prism viewfinder like mine. I'm guessing that if you didn't have to stick your eye to the viewfinder it would actually make for quite a natural photo-taking process, so I went on eBay and bought a waist-level viewfinder (which is taking its own sweet time to come from Poland). I'm really looking forward to using the camera that way.

Compared to the Zenit ET and Mamiya/Sekor 500TL, the plastic body EXA 1c is delightfully lightweight and definitely works as my go-to when I want to use M42 lenses. I even made a few comparison shots for the three focal lengths (55mm, 35mm and 28mm) - that will be another post for another time.
