Recently, completely unnplanned I’ve added a new camera to my collection. I’ve just accidentaly won the auction I didn’t plan to.
It’s another TLR Camera: Rolleicord I Model 2 – Model K3 – 511. According to the rolleiclub.com it was produced between and December 1934 – August 1936. It has Zeiss Triotar 3.8/75mm as taking lens and finder lens is Heidosmat Anastigmat 4/75mm. When bought it has rolleikin back so it couldn’t be used with the 120 film, however I managed to buy another back for that model.
Having that back I loaded camera with the old Tmax film as I hoped to check the quality of photos on a rather good medium. This film is still waiting in a queue for develeopment so I don;t know the results. Second film in that camera was old Agfa Optima 400. It’s colour film and has optimal EI for me (EI=400).
First check out how the camera look like.
I took that Roleicord with me when going for a short photowalk in Gdynia. So the test photos with Agfa Optima are from there.
Unfortunately as you can see on the photos camera has a quite heavy light leakage – I had to check the back – probably there is a problem.
Photos from Gdynia – mainly Yach port of Gdynia near Skwer Kościuszki.
