Took out my 1956-59 ROLLEIFLEX 2.8 E Xenotar -- not used for a while and was disappointed to see many of the frames had LIGHT FOGGING, mostly WORSE than this one. I think the back is not tight enough as there is a 'pin' missing on the bottom latch. It was FREE from a widow lady -- her late husband got it from a local Press Photographer and the taking lens is scratched but on shooting 'Contre-Jour' tests it does not seem to be affected and the sharpness is still good where these Old Eyes got it RIGHT in the dim focussing screen! Pic shows a candid taken in Brentwood High Street- 1/500 @ f8 as I was walking past.
FILM : 09/2004 outdated Ilford Delta 400
DEVELOPER: Home-made MICROPHEN 1+1 11.5 mins @ 20oC
NEG SCAN : Epson 1650 flatbed + Vuescan Pro + Photoshop 7
