My first Bessa II Apo-Lanthar Photos

Scanning is a bitch! 🙂

Yes, I'm still a scanning novice, so please bear with me. The shots shown here don't look half as good as on my lightbox so there's still some work left.

Nevertheless, here's the first one. Voigtlander Bessa II with 105mm f/4.5 Apo-Lanthar, Fuji Velvia 100F on a very overcast day. I even remember the exposure details because I took my time: 1/60s at f/5.6, handheld.

Scanned with Epson V500, the film was lying directly on the glass.

1/30s f/5.6:

The final one. Remember, those shots were just intended to try out the camera. And I think it performs very well!

I like the shot that is looking out the window. Good color reproduction, nice sharpness on the two blue candle holders, better than expected bokeh on the ivy that is growing on the back wall, near the gate.

Velvia 100F does greens really well. I'll have to revisit 100F this summer.

Hey, a fellow dutchman! Where you located? 😀

Yeah, clearly the Netherlands.
Time to organise another BENElux RFF gathering.
