Tessina Automatic
"The Tessina is SOOOOO tiny, despite it's rather large image size -- 14x21mm. It's almost as large as a half-frame image, but the camera is smaller than most 16mm cameras. The camera lacks a meter, but it has a full set of exposure features so it's very versatile."
The camera was loaded with 35mm Kodak TMAX 3200, exposed at ISO 800 at f16 and 1/500 second. Film developed in D-76 (1+1) for 15 minutes at 68 degrees. Enlarged in a Beseler 4x5 enlarger with diffusion head and Minolta CE Rokkor-X 30mm f2.8 lens. I used a half frame carrier (18x24mm) but there was very little light-spill. Paper was Ilford Multigrade III exposed for 10 seconds at f8 (no filter).
