Cartography 6


This small gallery grew from a test of one 120 size roll (12 shots) of 'Rollei Retro' 100iso

Conclusion. Nice retro 'feel' to this repackaged Rollei (Maco) film. Scans well.
Extremely thin base and very 'curly' even after 24 hrs under heavy books ! The base
doesn't seem to fully clear even after longer than normal fixing, and 25 mins
running-water wash. However, no impact on scanning, and unlikely to affect when enlarging.
The negatives have a soft gradation of tone, and the highlights are controlled.

(To make this ordinary object be the 'star', I used PS to adjust the crop slightly at times,
and to 'burn' the edges. Otherwise, no PS work. I used the MF 50mm lens at maximum
aperture of 1:4,0 for all images to enhance 'bokeh', and adjusted the speed accordingly.)

Hasselblad 503CW, Zeiss Distagon 1:4,0 f=50mm
