Hello

Very unusual ( old ) rendition, i guess the R100 its infrared film ? or its yellow filter maybe. anyway i like the churches images and the 2nd, good set up.

Thank you for the positive comment. It's just regular (panchromatic) BW film. I had to have mixed up with something else, the film it's Fomapan 100 Classic. For what is concerning the look I was trying to match my prints which have very slight warm tone due to developer characteristic.

Cheers, Marty.

I like the 2nd & 4th images, particularly the 4th. The composition of the 3rd doesn't seem as strong to me. Just my opinion.

Good quality. I want to get into medium format at some point.

Squares can pose some interesting compositional problems... and that Kalloflex sure is an interesting camera. How do you like working with it?

It's brought the clouds up nicely.

I agree with you, Martin, about #3. #4 seems to have more strength, I think the angled point of view works way better. I'm still experimenting with square format and I wanted an external opinion.

You're absolutely right. I'm still trying to find the right path. The reversed image is giving me some trouble, but I'm starting to get a grip on that.

It's a japanese copy of the better known Rolleiflex. It's a robust and heavy tool, well built I have to say albeit not at the level of her german step-sister. The lens seems to be sharp enough. The focusing screen looks yellow and not so bright, now I don't know if this is due to the age (probably mid 50's) or if it's just that way. In low light focusing can be tricky. The camera has no built meter so I have to use my Sekonic but this is no big deal to me. This camera is also one of my restoration projects, I've already CLAed the shutter and cleaned the lenses but the sync plug is still not operating so no flash for the moment.
Given the fact that is part of a lot of antique cameras I was given from a nice old gentleman I have nothing to complain about her, I actually enjoy a lot giving her a spin from time to time.

Yes indeed. Pulling the film together with the use of the yellow filter seems to have worked quite nicely.
