Start of a Journey, Guèret, 23000 Fr.

Start of a Journey, Guèret, 23000 Fr.
To continue this "excursion in reverse," this is where I joined the train. Taken six years ago, here is TD 141 740 arriving in Guèret station from Limoges, ready for the run up to Montluçon.

Notice that there is no diesel back up locomotive, which it seems is now mandatory for steam locomotive hauled trains on public lines in France, but not when this photo was taken. I used a Welmy Six folding camera, which I have since sold, and regret doing so, - it was a delightful little camera, made in Japan - an excellent copy of a Zeiss Ikonta.

1952 Welmy Six, f4.5/75mm Terionar lens, X2 yellow filter. Fomapan Ultra 200 in Caffenol C, 10 mins @21C. Scanned @1200dpi on Epson V500

Beautiful tones of the locomotive. Very sharp lens, was not it?

Gianni, molte grazie!

Yes, a very sharp triplet, this one was a later model with a coated lens, I think earlier ones were not. The best feature of these cameras was the shutter, which was very gentle, almost like a wristwatch! Also very rigid when opened - don't know why I sold it!

Taken the same day at full aperture:
