I shot the first film with my Agfa Clack pinhole. It went completely wrong. I shot on an Efke R50 120 film and developed with caffenol. All of the 8 exposures seems to be underexposed. The negative film has hardly any black marks on it. I had all the shots inside with artificial light. Exposure times varied between 4 minutes and 25 minutes. So it is hard to believe they were all underexposed. The other reason might be that caffenol does not work with this film. I have to check this.
Casio RF-2 And Caffenol
I borrowed the film scanner from our photo club and scanned my first roll I shot with my Casio RF-2. As I wrote earlier I developed the film in Caffenol. I’m very satisfied with the results. I have found that the Kodak T-Max 100 film can be pushed to ISO 200 without problem. Both ISO 100 and and ISO 200 images were good. I mainly shot in low light conditions. I did not use flash. Here are some samples:

Cover Modified
I did the cover modification to the Agfa Clack as I planned in the former post. I made the test rectangle. I found that I should cut about an 8mm wider hole. The outermost part of the lens cover is just a bit bigger than that so I decided to cut that off. When I removed the cover I found it was made of three parts: The chrome ring, the metal ring that has the Clack label and the plastic base. I removed the chrome part, then the metal ring with the label fell off. I cut the plastic base so that the hole is just a little bit narrower than the metal ring with the label. I tried the plastic part on the camera and tested with the triangle. It fits nicely, the hole is more than enough. I super glued the metal ring with the label to the plastic base and assembled the cover to the camera. Here is the final result:
Cover Mod
Now the camera is ready for testing.
