Well at least the mis-focus worked to your favour in the first and I like that only the fore/mid ground is focussed. Nice rendering though if you can adjust / adapt the focus.

I’ve managed to find a tiny watchmaker’s screwdriver which (with a little additional width reduction) should enable me to loosen the focus scale ring, so fingers crossed

Looking at the shot of the trees, I’m fairly optimistic that shooting at 1/75th of a second will probably be ok as an alternative to it’s only other handhold-able speed of 1/200th, there doesn’t seem to be too much shake. I wasn’t sure to start with but I’ll probably get away with it

Well, I’ve had a quick check of the focus and it looks to have infinity set to about 10 feet…
Just need to get that little screwdriver sorted now.

Well, I’ve managed to re-jig the focus (as close as I can). Will run another roll through it as opportunity presents

Gosh, the condition of the camera and lens is superb, and the quality of the images is as good as a new camera. My old Goerz 6x9 - mechanically excellent but - look like a dog and the lens is full of ... I must give it a try now! Thanks for the challenging post!

Cheers @Geoff Chaplin. The lens remarkably clean for it’s age although there’s possibly a small spot of fungus inside the lens on, I think, the front surface of the rear element. I’ve not properly checked it out as yet. I might try and get in and clean it at some point. I’m looking forward to putting another roll through it.
Hope all goes well with the Goerz. I look forward to seeing some piccies.
