Experimenting with this beautiful folding camera. I used Ilford HP4 film. The lens is sharp, I had to increase the contrast of the images very slightly in Lightroom to give them a bit more pop. I don’t have a lens hood and it would be a good accessory, I believe not using one detracted some from the contrast out of the camera. Shooting old film cameras is a great joy, and a challenge. German cameras in particular have a greater learning curve than those made in other places. They are precise and exacting, a mirror to the German society itself. On this roll I only achieved 6 frames since I did not properly wind the 120 film up to the starting point before closing the back. It will be interesting to see the results from color negative film, especially if I can find a proper lens hood.
