This was a disappointing week, although everything winds and fires without a film, once the film was loaded it was clear that all was not well, sometimes the film advanced without cocking the shutter, and the advance was very stiff, seizing up after about 12 exposures. I removed the film in a dark bag, and reloaded the remainder, but the same thing happened, so I gave it up as a bad job. There also seems to be a problem with the scale focusing, as I used a tape measure for the closer shots, but they are still noticeably out of focus.

Rollei RPX 400 B&W film developed in Ilfosol 3.
