First Roll of 120 Through Rolleiflex
Here goes a few images from the first roll of 120 film I put through the Rolleiflex. These are all straight off the film with no corrections and using the camera meter.
All I can say is WOW…Even with a couple of good-sized cracks round the edge of the lens this camera is giving a sharp image and the meter is spot on 🙂
You can see the extent of the lens damage in the top corners of this image as a darkening of the sky but all in all not too bad and could be post produced out with a bit of vignette.
A little bit of flare here as well but this was across the sun so was kinda pushing it to see what it would do…
I likee 🙂
Not the best photo but hey it’s not everyday you see a couple of stormtroopers walking down the street.
I almost got them front on but need more practice with focus and reverse panning techniques…
I think this might replace the F5 for a little while as camera of choice for street shooting… Well we’ll see 🙂
