Bessa R3A/40mm Rokkor

[Andrew Touchon]

I just developed my first test roll of B/W film using my new R3A and my 30 year old Minolta CL 40mm F2 Rokkor lens. I put the shutter on automatic and set the aperture on F4 and snapped away. All of the exposures turned out perfect! I am a very happy camper!

I posted two of the pictures in my gallery. I am very impressed with the way the old Rokkor performed with the strong back light coming thru the window in the first picture.

I have a new CV Nokton 40mm F1.4 lens on order and I will be interested to see how it compares to the Rokkor.

Andrew, I really like the results. What film and processing did you use?
