I was lucky to find this in perfect working order -



Even luckier to find it with the proper roll film back, in this case a Rollex.



I wrote this up on the Equipment Gallery, so I won't repeat myself -

I shot a couple of rolls at Ocean Beach, San Francisco, with yellow and red filters, on a rare sunny day, on a tripod ! (I hate tripods, but they are required for this).

Unfortunately I made the mistake of not bringing a bag to change film in so I had to do it with little cover, so there were many spoiled frames. The camera and Rollex holder do not seem to have light leaks.

Oh! The first one is astonish. The rest is also outstanding.
I can not understand people who doesn't want to try film. Digital sometimes sucks.

Wow, those shots are of great quality and character. Impressive what an MF Tessar with yellow filter on is capable for in experienced hands!
