Hi to all!

I've recently got some Retinas & Retinettes (just to calm down my G.A.S. :bang: ) and actually testing these nice cameras.

This time I went for the Retinette IB. Is a very nice simple camera, working flawlessy and in perfect conditions. I loaded it with a roll of Ilford Delta 400 rated @ 800 Iso, to test (first time) Ilford DDX developer too.
I shot handheld in full sun, indoor and @ dusk, using no filters or hood. I have to say I got very satisfactory results and already planning to test further (i.e. pushing harder the Delta and other films).

You can check more on my FILM BLOG.

Nice as a picture. But possibly a little soft; to show the quality of the Retinette to its best advantage, you should maybe have used a tripod or shown an outdoor picture with fast shutter speed.

Yep, you're right..... this shot was made handheld, wide open @ 1/15 sec.... and demostrates "what" you can obtain in such situations....
Anyway there are outdoor picture too in the Blog Post.... just follow the link..... :)
