House in the old town in Steinau an der Straße, Hessen, Germany.
The camera has a selenium meter which operates the automatic mode. The meter still works.
The Rollei Magic gives only limited control over the exposure time. In the automatic (default) mode, f-stop and exposure time are set automatically. This also makes it hard to calibrate the meter.
In manual mode, you can set the f-stop and then do long exposures for as long as you press the shutter release. That requires a tripod. Conversely, in flash mode, even if you don't have a flash, you can set the f-stop and the exposure time will then always be 1/30 s. This is a good workaround. You can keep the camera steady for 1/30 as the leaf shutter does not induce any vibration and there is no mirror slap with a TLR.
As there was plenty of light here and I was shooting at ISO 500, there was no way I could have used the workaround with 1/30s, even when stopping down completely, so I just used the automatic mode. The shots looks slightly overexposed to me, but as the fastest exposure time is only 1/300s, I suppose the camera stopped down to f/22 and had to use 1/300, because that was the best it could do.

I toned the original print in selenium toner diluted @ 1:200 for about 2 minutes. It's not easy to see on screen, but the print has bleached slightly, the contrast has reduced a little, and the tone has become less red. I like the colour.

in Moersch Eco 4812 Selenium tonę.
Punchier than the Foma version.
Liking Moersch Eco 4812. I think its going to be my go to for normal prints.
In this series the emphasis will be more on architectural shots and combining this with long exposures.
Some may question if this is architecture, I think it is, anyway it is man built.
This one is dedicated to one of my Flickr friends Joshua Wyborn. Although only being 17 he's already shown a high level of depth and maturity in his work that other more experienced B&W photographers can only dream of. His understanding of light, contrasts, tonality, mood and all of the finer skills in B&W photography is amazing for someone his age. My word, the world will hear more of him in the years to come. So check out his work.

My latest booklet “Rive Gauche” is available as a standard edition and a special edition with a selenium-toned silver gelatin print: “Musée d’Orsay, 2022” (pictured above). While all of the photographs in the book are portrait orientation, the special edition print—a ‘bonus’ image from the series—is in fact in landscape orientation, available only in an edition of just 60: www.kityoung.co.uk/rive-gauche-special-edition
"Kit Young’s series Rive Gauche is an ode to Paris that unreservedly encapsulates the feeling of being in that city. Even if you’ve never been, you’ll instantly be transported to a little café, watching passersby scurrying about their day.
Much like his predecessors André Kertész and Louis Stettner, Kit Young is a guest to Paris, invited in, time and again, to effortlessly capture the subtle glints of light and life that the city provides..."

For this version, I have gone with a split-tone (selenium) rendition, plus I have added some shadow effects, in order to ramp up the drama.

My first attempt at shooting this Mill was - or so I thought - spoilt by the lens fogging up toward the end of the exposure so that the star trails softened off and disappeared.
However after a little play and mono treatment with selenium toning I quite like the effect. The small flare from the central bright star works for me and also the mistiness adds some atmosphere. So I am content that I got something out of it!

This is my attempt at adding a hue that best matches the results I got when I applied selenium toner to black and white prints.
I used a B+W 091 Dark Red (Wratten#29) filter while taking this image.
