First walk-out with the Retinette 1B

[skida]

A very cold, windy and bright, contrasty day. Much too cold for arty shots but I wanted to see how it handles and shoots. Mostly f11 and f8 at 1/250th. Minor light adjustments.

Conclusion: The light meter works. The hood was on for all shots. I like it and it shoots well.

Wow never knew my one could be so good when I bought one new many moons ago.....just B\W for me then and just small prints.

I put the hood on the end of the filter and I think it has caused a little vignetting, but other than that there's nothing to complain about.

Very good results! Seems to be a fine camera, i didn't think it would be this good!

[Lloydy]

Wow...very good indeed.

[Farside]

Stop! I don't need another camera! Especially one that folds up so nicely into a pocket.
Nice results.

Beautiful pictures, I believe you can produce similar with any cam

Thanks folks for the nice comments. The camera is a definite keeper! I have never owned any camera with a Rodenstock lens before, but I understand it was a Schneider design and the Xenar on my Balda is also a good'n.
