Something From The Rollei

When I first started shooting medium format again last summer, it was after a 10 year hiatus.  This time around, I wanted to experiment with a Rolleiflex TLR.  I'll admit to being a little surprised at just how shallow the depth of field was with the 3.5E Planar I bought!  But this was a welcome surprise for sure given my shooting style.  Wide open, the 75/3.5 Planar is a lovely lens.  This Corvette was shot on Fuji Pro 400H, nice for the summer evenings.

Classic Lincoln

Another from this past summer cruise season, great looking Lincoln with such nice color.  Kodak Ektar 100 is such a nice film to use for this type of environment.  The somewhat slow 100 ISO is perfect for me when I want to shoot late afternoon into dusk and take advantage of fast aperture lenses.  Shot with the Leica 50/1.0 Noctilux, close to wide open.
