i just finished an outdated 20008 AGFA Vista 400 in my FE2 and used a PB-5 Bellows + 105mm f2.5 Nikkor which i got for my Wife years ago and she never uses her NIKON gear now so I have 'taken it over' I had camera on 'A' exposure mode and it gave a good negative which I processed myself in C41 and scanned with PlusTek OptivFilm 7200 + Vuescan Pro + PhotoShop 7.

I finally got a good picture of a Black Vulture. Looks like the camera did a better job of capturing the details of the true bird colors when the sky was hazy and and there were dark clouds in the cloud mixture.

Another week of photographing historical weapons, (this is getting a lot like work!) I just didn't have it in me to do any pleasure shooting. Here's what I did.
Pattern 1853, type II Enfield rifle-musket made for the British during the Crimean War entirely by machine with interchangeable parts in the U.S.A. by Robbins and Lawrence of Windsor VT. A quick British victory in the Crimea meant disaster for Robbins and Lawrence, the British canceled the contract after receiving only a fraction of the arms forcing Robbins and Lawrence into bankruptcy and thousands of arms to be sold much below the contract price to whomever would buy them. The musket here is one of a few that actually saw service in the British Army.
