Rolleicord III

Getting my feet wet in medium format

Schneider-Kreuznach 75mm, f3.5 lens

It seems like the camera has not been used in a while because initially the slow speeds were sticky but came back to life with a bit of exercise. The finder was still not very bright for indoors after cleaning, but fine for outdoor shooting.

So far I've shot two rolls with this camera. Although the film transport has an auto stop feature, I'm still struggling to avoid double exposures ;)

Sample shot
