Lisa Simpson (Film)

Camera: Rolleiflex 3.5B TLR Zenar 75mm f3.5 1954

Film: Ilford SFX 200 Black and White 120

Scanned by Walkens House of Film, Melbourne, Australia

 

This is the very first photograph I took with my new purchase. It has quite possibly been many years since the camera was used. So I was apprehensive, and of course with film you have no idea until the negative is developed.

 

The maximum shutter speed of this old Rolleiflex is 1/500 (perfectly fine when film speeds were much slower). But using 120 film at 200 ASA meant I had to be careful not to over expose. I think here I set the aperture to f/16.

 

I thought I'd start with a celebrity and Lisa Simpson just happened to walk by. Perhaps those bars mean she was arrested after singing this protest song.
