chrism Posted April 12, 2017 Share #30584 Posted April 12, 2017 This is the photo that alerted me to this camera's defect. I carefully focused on the word 'Mother' on that pathetic little stone, but the leaves and grass a foot behind it are in the easily visible narrow plane of focus: Back Focus by chrism229, on Flickr And here's a crop from my test film this morning: I used a tripod and cable release, and focused on the middle of the sheet of paper, but it's the far end of the paper that is sharp. A real shame, but there we are. C. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyboy Posted April 12, 2017 Share #30585 Posted April 12, 2017 Firstly, lovely pictures Coogee - that NSW landscape and colours are really spectacular. Also, love that 90 Summicron-R - I had one too with my R system. Actually all the R-series lenses are good. Secondly, thank you for your kind comment about the 80s pictures from London. I was absolutely rapt to see Hardster's as it took me back in a way to those days. Great stuff and, as you say, today's pictures are the stuff of fascination and good vibes in another XX years. Which brings me to the other important point you raise - jonnyboy's negatives. There is nothing here that can't be fixed but I think there are a number of issues, starting with light leaks. I'm going to speculate that this is happening as you load the negatives from the cassette into your tank, jonnyboy. Please ensure you are doing this in a completely dark environment. I don't do it in a dark room, I use a light-tight "darkroom tent" that I bought from B&H (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/41880-REG/Photoflex_AC_CROO1_Film_Changing_Room_25.html) and which will last you years. Once you've gotten to the wet stage, ensure your chemicals are mixed to the correct proportions and are the correct temperature - 20 degrees celsius/68 fahrenheit works for most things, and the massive developer chart app gives you a great tool which will help you adjust the development time if you are at a higher temperature for whatever reason. I don't recommend developing at UNDER 20/68. Next, follow this technique by Chris Crawford who really knows his stuff: I am a lot gentler on my negatives than he is, just giving my tank a sharp tap on the bench when I've finished inverting the tank. Also, I do the inversions a bit less enthusiastically than Chris, too, more like a mild-mannered cocktail shaker. And Coogee gives a great suggestion - just develop a roll. Rattle off the first half of the roll at a white wall or something giving a range of exposures, from -5 stops to +5 stops from correct exposure (if using a white wall, correct exposure will be what your meter reads PLUS two stops eg if it reads 1/125 at f8, give and exposure of 1/30 f8 for correct exposure, then for -5, give 1/1000 f8, then 1/500 etc through to 1 sec f8 for plus 5 stops. This will be an invaluable resource for, not only your developing technique, but also your meter/shutter etc. Take notes of each frame you shoot, and exactly the proportions of chemicals you mix, agitation scheme, temperatures etc. It seems a lot of work, but I can pretty much guarantee it will provide enough data for the good minds on this thread to point you in the right direction. And good luck! Thanks so much for everyone's help, I will follow the advice in the video in the next batch. I do remember the film not going very easily into the spirals, and that may need be the cause of all the mess....argh, one little distraction and i got 2 rolls that seems to be shot in the 40's 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share #30587 Posted April 12, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes Chris focus problem coming from the mechanism of the camera or lens ? Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted April 12, 2017 Share #30588 Posted April 12, 2017 Well I'm feeling very irritated today. I noticed on the shots taken yesterday with the Rolleiflex FT that there was back focus, so I used up a roll of film today shooting a sheet of paper with text on it at an oblique angle. At closest focus at f4 the plane of focus is six inches behind the spot that the viewfinder said was in focus. There are no Rollei service people in Canada, and if I send it to the USA it will probably attract duty again on its return, nor do I feel I should have to spend a few hundred dollars on a service. So now I'm trying to contact the seller in Korea to arrange a return (I'm within the 30 day period that eBay allows). I knew I should have stuck with the 500c and the Sonnar 150mm for these kind of portraits, but these Rolleiflexes are so damnably addictive. C. I have sent my M2 and M3 to the United States from Montreal for repairs, with no duty applied on return. In one case the bill was about $350 and the later case it was $975. As for service in Canada for Rollies - I don't know. You might ask Gerry Smith at Kindermann in Toronto - I doubt the he services Rollies, but he might have good advice. He is a great guy. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrism Posted April 12, 2017 Share #30589 Posted April 12, 2017 Yes Chris focus problem coming from the mechanism of the camera or lens ? Henry The 'taking' lens on a TLR has to be adjusted to match the focusing of the 'viewing' lens on the ground glass screen. It's the same kind of thing as adjusting the rangefinder in a Leica.

chrism Posted April 12, 2017 Share #30590 Posted April 12, 2017 As for service in Canada for Rollies - I don't know. You might ask Gerry Smith at Kindermann in Toronto - I doubt the he services Rollies, but he might have good advice. He is a great guy. The best known service guy for Rolleiflexes is Harry Fleenor, but he doesn't do the later models with built in meters. Otherwise the nearest would be Colorado. But the camera was sold as being faultless, half a dozen rolls of film only etc. so I don't see that I should be paying for repairs that were not supposed to be needed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
