WARNING: This is a very contrasty film :P
Having never played with the Retro 80s film I decided to take it for a test drive over the Labour Day weekend at a War of 1812 Re-enactment at Old Fort Niagara down in Youngstown NY. An annual favourite of my regiment, I snapped a bunch of candid BTS shots from a re-enactors perspective.
On my next roll of this film I will ere on the side over exposure, and use a flatter developer

Taken with a Hasselblad 500 C/M on Rollei Retro 80s and developed in Kodak HC110
A second film with my Semflex Standard 3.5, a French TLR camera year 1959, in Lyon, France, May 30, 2024.
The camera was equipped with the Semflex yellow x2 filter and the Semflex squared shade hood. The camera was loaded with a 12-exposire 120 format Rollei Retro 80S (former Agfa Aviphot 80 used in aerial photography) sensitized in the red to 760nm in the near-IR band. Rollei 80S is coated on a maskless PET support with anti-halation layers that were removed by two presoaking bathes before the developer.
Expositions were determined for 100 ISO (50 ISO to compensate the light absorption of the yellow filter x2) using a Minolta Autometer III equipped with a 10° finder for selective measures privileging the shadow areas.
Typically I used the 1/100s with aperture ranging from f/11 to the full aperture f/3.5. One view was found blank for an unknown reason (did the shutter fired?)

After the view #12 exposed, the film was fully rolled to the taking spool and was developed in a Paterson tank with a spiral adapted to the 70mm large film. 500 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer were prepared at the dilution 1+50 and the film processed for 14min at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) held on a Minolta vertical macro stative device and adapted to a Minolta MD Macro lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The light source was a LED panel (approx. 4x5') CineStill Cine-lite. The RAW files obtained were inverted within LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printed files with frame including the whole image appearing on the film, of the full size JPEG. Some documentary smartphone color picture are also included in the dedicated album.
About the camera and lenses :
New in my camera collection this French Semflex TLR year 1959-1960 equipped with f=75mm SOM Berthiot lenses.
The SEM company ("Société des Etablissements Modernes de Mécanique") was founded in France by Paul Royet in 1946, in the small city of Aurec near Saint-Etienne (Loire). The SEM camera's was known essentially for the TLR Semflex that were a great commercial success in France until the 70's. The camera's are constructed around an injected aluminum alloy chassis, very resistant and rigid permitting precise optical alignments. The focusing mechanism is made of a cam system like the Rolleiflex giving an accurate and smooth focusing. SEM constructed their own shutters called Orec with 5 leaves capable of the 1/400s to 1s with B.
Semflex received in majority French optics Berthiot with 3 or 4 lenses (Tessar type). Some camera's were also mounted with Angénieux lenses.
Semflex were trusted TLR camera's used by amateurs and for professional purposes. From 1949 to 1976, 171.000 Semflex were produced in many different types and versions.
My Semflex in a middle grade version Standard 3.5 type-10 (1959-1960). It was the last version mounted with the 3-lens SOM Berthiot 1:3.5 f=75mm. I got the camera with set of accessories and several documents including the user manual of the Semflex Standard 4.5 versions. The accessories include a leather SEM ever-ready bag, a Semflex push-on shade hood, a Semflex push-on yellow filter x2 in its original box, and close-focusing lenses. The 1D one is constructed with a prism for the finder lens that compensates the parallax in the zone 1m to 0.5m.
The decorative ring around each lenses can also receive push-on accessories in 36mm diameter as the FOCA or Leitz 36mm filter series. I adapted two protective lens caps from Kodak film canister snapped covers.
