35mm Rollei Retro 400 + Rodinal
New film and new developing technique! :)
Leica M3 + Leica Noctilux 50mm f1.0 v2 @ f1 + yellow Heliopan 60mm filter + Rollei Retro 400 B&W film
I used a 1:100 Rodinal stand development for 45mins at 21 degrees with a few turns in first 10 seconds and 1 mid way for finer grain and highlight retention. Many Rollei Retro portraits I had seen had over exposed highlights so I wanted to minimise this problem
Pleased with the result :) My first time using Rollei Retro 400 film
Model - Katie. Shot in the last of the daylight. Highlight on back of coat was tungsten building light
..developing my own B&W film puts me off shooting colour film more each time. I can pretty much get any exposure, contrast, grain size, sharpness from my negatives as I have full control from start to end. When shooting colour I am normally disappointed on the whole as I know a B&W version will pretty much always look better. That said I am trying to love colour film more and it can be nice if done well
