I HAD to pair this camera with this helicopter. '64 Nikon F, Nikkor-S Auto 50mm 1.4, Fuji 200, Scanned with Z8 and ES-2. I was in the rear facing seat and have no clue how I got the forward facing shots focused.
Getting an explanation from them for what specifically was wrong was like pulling teeth. I got more irritated and by the time they "explained" ("Your crop of the photo is not good, the composition is off. It’s not up to standards here."), I was muted for being "rude."
I thought a clear, defined, focused, and IMO interesting shot that I took an a 105 year old camera and developed myself would at least fit in with a sub that goes by the name "I took a picture." Their name should be changed at this point.
Taken at the Air Force Armament Museum, FL on my early 20's VPK. I built a working example from a body with good bellows and another camera as a parts donor. Developed in HC-110, Dilution B.
This isn't the clearest shot from the roll, but I love how vintage it looks.

I swapped the swivel Surefire body to an Arisaka body to use with my Arisaka inline mount. I feels more purpose and "tucked in" now.
After waiting and eventually disputing a charge with Mission Engineering, I gave up and grabbed a second Dunlop mini to flesh it out. Stoked!
