Rollei XF35 & (Expired) T-max 400...nice combo

[lorenzo1910]

Hi all,
I've just bought a nice and small Rollei XF35 that has been paid few Euros (...bucks?) Here are some shots taken with the tiny rangefinder and an expired roll of Kodak T-max 400 (3 years outdated)
The film has been processed by minilab and scanned by an old Minolta Dimage Scan Dual (SCSI) @ 2400dpi
Comments and advices are welcome...

Yes, this little rangefinder has a very good lens on it.

Good results up there.

One thing about the shadow area, it's a little blocked (black with no details). Do your minilab offer scanning options? You may want to compare the results with your scanner.

Yes they do...but I get better result scanning at home...
The dark shadows are just a personal taste...i like the "dark atmosphere"
In the "unpost-processed" images the dark areas were much brighter (developing was fine)

Many thanks for your reply

Nice photos.
In my experience, Rollei XF35 lacks the quality "feel", but it can still deliver good results thanks to its quality lens.

Sometimes I think it more than just a lens. I love my Konica C35 with Tmax 400, but not as well as with other cameras.

Just an update...
This has been shot with the (above mentioned) Rollei and one of the last Agfa Ultra 100 (I still have 4 rolls... )
