This is the "film d'essai" (test film) of my newly-arrived Rollei 35 (year 1973), Lyon, France, March 2, 2023,
After blank mechanical tests and a detailed inspection the day before, the Rollei 35 camera was loaded with a 36-exposure Fomapan Creative 200 film exposed for 200 ISO. Fomapan 200 is a regular panchromatic film sensitized in the red to 690 nm, a bit more than the common panchromatic films as Kodak Tri-X or Ilford HP5 with a cutoff around 650 nm. The 35mm perforated Foma film is coated on a regular cellulose acetate base tinted in grey-blue to avoid halation. Technical Foma data indicate that the nominal sensitivity is more around 160 than 200 ISO.
Expositions were determined using a Minolta Autometer III with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. Typically, 1/500s, to 1/125s, were used at f/8 to f/16. Most of the view were taken with a 24mm screwed Rollei filter "Gelb-Mittel" (medium yellow) fitted on the Tessar 1:35 f=40mm lens (Made by Rollei under a Carl Zeiss licence o ft the original Tessar lens for the Rollei 35). The coefficient "+1,5" of the medium yellow filter is equivalent to 0.5 stop.

After exposure, the film was processed using Adox Adonal (=Agfa Rodinal R09) developer at dilution 1+50, 20°C for 10 min.
The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body adapted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III and a Minolta Slide Duplicator using a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5 at a reproduction ratio of 1:1. The reproduced RAW files obtained were processed in LR prior the the final JPEG editions.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg.
About the camera and the lens:
This original Rollei 35 is equipped of the collapsible 40mm Tessar lens "Made by Rollei" under Carl Zeiss licence who designed the first 1:3.5 f=40mm Tessar lens for the Rollei 35. Original Rollei 35 were manufactured by Rollei Franke & Heideke company originally in Germany starting year 1966 then later in Singapore until 1981. Originally, the build-in CdS cell was design by Gossen and the central shutter by Compur. Diaphragm and shutter are operated mechanically by two wheels on the front of the camera. The CdS cell is coupled to both. The Rollei 35 was a miniature 35 mm camera weighting around 320g, about 100g more than the Rollei 35 LED for instance with less mechanical parts. Overall more than 2 millions of Rollei 35 camera were produced over 15 years under different versions. According the serial number (3 410 XXX) of this chrome-plated camera was produced by Rollei Singapore between 01/1971 and 06/1973 and likely after 04/1973 due to the Tessar lens "Made by Rollei" instead of formally Carl Zeiss Tessar (ref : rollei35.eu/rollei35numbers.php#r35ge). It came with its original leather pouch, the wrist strap, a Rollei soft collapsible shade hood, Rollei 24mm screw-on UV and medium yellow filters, and the original user manual.

Watch out for JUNK magazine August issue to see the outcome of this photoshoot! ... :D
So I had the camera out this afternoon and I finally got around to checking out my new pipi faceplate. I asked Amelia if she wouldn't mind sharing her body for a little bit and she was totally cool with it.
I am totally smitten.
This girl is so amazingly gorgeous I don't have words. I adore her understated makeup and that pout is to die for.
So now, I want her to become a fulltime, full bodied member of the family so she really really REALLY needs a littlefee body. Please PM me if you can help - boy or girl will be fine.
