Dark weather and tripod forbidden induced me to adjust the aperture wide open. The Super Ikonta III fitted with the Tessar lens is quite suitable, since this lens preserves sharpness at wider apertures. I like the rendering of the out-of-focus area of medium format cameras. But realizing the wanted dosage of blurring is a real challenge, since folder cameras enable no depth-of-field control.
