I put the bright leaf on the 'Intersection of Thirds' as taught after over 60 years in Camera Clubs -- the local Priest came by and commented " That is a wonderful old ROLLEI " ( 47 years old ! )
I went on a 'Tourist Trip' to Tower Bridge area -- here I held an Orange Filter over the lens. 04/1986 ILFORD PAN F film processed in home-made Microphen 1+3
I went on a 'Tourist Trip' to Tower Bridge area -- here is Tower bridge with 'Morning Light' -- most tourists were in the Tower of London walkway on the wrong side shooting into the strong light with their mobile phones !
I used 04/1986 dated ILFORD PAN F processed in home-made Microphen 1+3 for 8.5 mins @ 20oc
Two lovely Rolleiflexes from the 1960's era. On the LEFT is a 3.5F Planar Mk III with built-in exposure meter. On the RIGHT is my latest aquisition FREE from a Camera Club member, the 3.5E Planar. I have it fitted with the Rollei pentaprism . The winder was jammed so it cost me £65 for repair, new cogs etc and a CLA . They have the 75mm f3.5 Zeiss Planar lens in Synchro-Compur shutter speeded 1-1/500th sec.+ X and M flash settings, delayed action. The viewfinders are removable.
My ROLLEIFLEX 2.8F with Zeiss PLANAR -- I bought it years ago from a Camera Club member who had bought it from another man who never used it much . I paid £250-00 then found photos were out of focus and the shutter was faulty -- the Viewing Screen had been put in upside down -- I took it to the Rollei Service Center in London ( when it WAS there !) and it cost me £ 50-00 for a CLA so the Club Member let me off the £50-00 fee so I got it for £200-00 in the end and did many Weddings with it .
Out with my Rolleiflex 2.8F Planar loaded with a roll of 07/1991 dated AGFA PAN 100 -- I rated it at 64 ASA and processed in RODINAL 1+50 for 14 mins at 20oC-- I have done a 16x12" Darkroom print of this for my Club.
Out with my 1969 ROLLEIFLEX 3.5F Planar as it was sunny _ got this bloke washing his horse in the Pond near our Town Centre !! I had 1984 outdated Ilford Pan F loaded and I over -developed it so negs were contrasty but luckily I had some Ilfobrom Glossy Grade 1 -- must be over 40 years old -- and it came out well !
My Old Friend Bart who gave me this Rolleiflex 3.5E Planar, with one of his famous funny 'self-portraits' I used full aperture with no flash by window-light.
My Sister-in-Law's dog MIKKI III we had for two weeks -- my boy was 'in charge' luckily-- pic shows Mikki after a walk where we all got caught in heavy RAIN so he is drying out near our front door - I had three frames to finish up in my 1962 ROLLEIFLEX 2.8F Planar so took them with my Metz 45CL3 flash at f11 -- this is my MOST VIEWED EVER Photo on FLICKR with 2,680 'views' and it's only a SNAP of a DOG not even with bounced flash !! I bet it doesn't get ANY Views or Comments on this site !
Seen in my home town of Brentwood, Essex (England) I was using up some outdated Kodak GPF film I had been given . I home-processed it in C41 and scanned using Vuescan on an old Epson 1650 flatbed.
a Double Exposure in my house -- our glass front door and my wife's Geraniums in the back garden ! I used up some 1999 Kodak GPF film I had been given and home-processed in C41.
