Since I had Shutter Speeds, Winder, Focus knob, broken Base-plate lock pin and mete done on my [/b]1956 ROLLEIFLEX 2.8 E Xenotar I had not used it for colour. I loaded a 07/2003 dated Fuji Velvia 50 which I rated 32 ASA and got some good results. The scratches on the taking 80mm f2.8 XENOTAR lens have not had any effect. Maybe the repairer repolished it.

Got some good results? You've absolutely nailed it in my opinion sir. We need a phrase for your handling of outdated film stock Pete. How about 'old stock film-fu' ? Smile
