I finally have this guy working at least for now.
This is just a first sample but very exiting to see the uniqueness of the rendering here.
Film was neopan 400 held back about 20% to slow down the highlights a bit.
I'll have more after a shoot next week with a friend;)

Like I poisted on RFF, nice approach and execution. It sure has its own look ...

Thanks guys. It is an unusual beast.
Here is one at infinity and f18. I need to get the roll film back working correctly.
The lens is not nearly as sharp at infinity. For me that is OK. I will use this for Portraits and likely exclusively B&W.
Attila if you can take one.

Scheimpflug
The film was Neopan 400 developed in Tmax developer 20C for 5 min with only two agitations.
The sun was actually doing full duty even though the background is cloudy. I wanted the drama in the sky so minimal agitation to keep the highlights down.
here is that infinty clik.

"Plaubel Makina" sounds to photographers like "Bugatti" to car enthusiasts.
WOW!

The Makina II is smaller than a Nikon F3.

Nooooo, they aren't Wink

Repeat with me:

Plaubels are BIG cameras that don't fit into my flat. Plaubels are BIG cameras that don't fit into my flat. Plaubels are BIG cameras that don't fit into my flat. Plaubels are BIG cameras that don't fit into my flat.....

(I cannot afford to put any additional camera in my flat without being thrown away along all of them in a single pack...).
