SINGLE CUP BAG by McGregor Balfour Textiles Ltd

North of the city of Lyon, France, the two neighboring communes of Caluire and Cuire were united in 1793 into a single one "Caluire-et-Cuire". Originally, the inhabitants of Cuire were buried in the « Château de Cuire » graveyard. After the French Revolution, the new owner and local residents, claiming to be bothered by the odors emanating from it, demanded its closure.

It was officially closed in 1823. A new graveyard was built at the top of the « Montée de la Rochette », a very steep street, where the sale of concessions stopped in 1940. The last burial took place in 2012. Most of the graves are today abandoned but the graveyard is still maintained. The ivy grows on the tombstones giving a sort of natural and elegant funeral decoration.

I passed by there two days before and I decided to return with my Rolleiflex 3.5F (1960-1964, see below for details) loaded with a Svema FOTO 100 black-and-white film. The film was exposed for its nominal 100 ISO. Metering was done using a Minolta Autometer III equipped with a 10° finder for selective measures privileging the shadow areas or an opale dome for incident light integration.

Montée de la Rochette

69300 Caluire-et-Cuire, France

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 120-format film. 500 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer were prepared at the dilution 1+25 and the film processed for 7 min at 20°C. Opposite to my first trial of the Svema FOTO 100 film, the film was this time correctly positioned on the backing paper and the 12 views were obtained without problems.

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 fitted with film holder "Lobster" to maintain flat the 70mm films.

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 or the full size JPEG together with some documentary smartphone pictures.

About the camera

I got this stunning Rolleiflex 3.5F from a French artist near Paris, France. The camera came in it original box and leather bag with accessories and a reference book year 1955. The whole kit is in a remarkable state of conservation.

The Rolleiflex 3.5F is the model-3 that Rollei-Werke Franke & Heidecke produced in about 50.000 units in Germany from 1960 to 1965. The Rolleiflex originates from 1928 for the very first model and was produced still in a limited number until the years 2000’s. The 3.5F model 3 was available etheir with a Schneider-Kreuznak Xenotar taking lens or the Call Zeiss Planar 1:3.5 f=75mm as this camera. The Rolleiflex, that was a quality reference for many professional photographers in the 50’s for the medium-format 6X6 camera’s. Many worked both with the Leica M3 (starting from 1954) as small-format 24x36mm camera and the Rolleiflex for other appliances. The Rolleiflex remained one of the most iconic and trusted camera of all the times.

This specific 3.5F is labelled on the right side with nice badge made of enameled brass « T » « Telos » that was the exclusive first French importer of Rollei to France until 1972.

The Rolleiflex 3,5 F model 3 is equipped with the Synchro-Compur central shutter MXV CR00 with cone-wheel differential. The distance scale is only in meters here with automatic DOF indication. Serial number with ‘3,5F’ prefix on of top name shield.

I detailed the camera and accessories and studied carefully the user manual and the book to before familiar this beauty before waiting for a quiet moment to prepare for a test film. I did not trust the old leather original neck strap to carry this precious machine on the field to avoid the real risk to drop the camera. I ordered a new one from a manufacturer in China for a safe operation of the field.
