Some experiments with my LÖBER field camera from 1896

Yesterday I made some experiments with my old LÖBER camera and the lens from a WW1 binocular.

I tried to shoot a flower in my laboratory with old FOMA 312 paper and the vintage studio flash. Finally I had to fire the flash totally 15 times to get an exposure, with an f-stop of 22. It was a lot of fun and the result was OK. Because of the full expanded bellow of the camera, it was 40cm, I had to increase the exposure time by factor 6.
