Results from the Bessa I

First roll out and scanned... not too impressed. Bergger Pancro 400 which might have been over developed, and maybe even under exposed, since there is not much published data on this film yet!

Second roll... wait... where are the frame counters??  Off to my local camera store rescue the roll of TriX from the Bessa... After further investigation it appears to be a known problem with Kodak backing paper. Fixed as of emulsion #0981 (according to Kodak tech support).

Second actual roll, much better!  Delta 400 developed in D76 1:1, see below.

Decent tone quality and resolution, but I need to learn how to zone focus better! Stay tuned... More to come...

A new addition!

Merry Christmas! Thanks to my daughter... I now own a 60+ year old, beautiful, Bessa I medium format 6x9 folder.

Manufactured in the early 1950's it is a very simple camera to use.  I started with a roll of Bergger Pancro 400, and will be attempting roll #2 with Delta 400.  Will post back results soon.
