I've been lurking for months. Finally registered yesterday and also shot the first roll in a new acquisitiion. GAS led to purchase (locally) of a IIIF BD that's a very nice user, with a really grungy Elmar 50mm f.3.5. First roll was Tri-X shot at iso 400 and developed in Formulary Rodinal.
This has potential, particulary if the Tri-X is shot at 320 or 200.
I welcome comments on the attached photo. It's not a demanding subject, but I was pleased with detail rendered.

welcome to the forum.
it looks like you and the IIIf will workout just fine.
nice work.
 
That's very nice. Maybe I should give Rodinal a try.

These IIIf/Elmar combos are compelling, aren't they?
 
I just took my 111f and 111c for a spin today. Left all the M`s at home and the R`s and convenient zoom lenses.

Even left my light meters home by accident. Sunny 16 prevailed and all the shots are fine.

Used Elmar 3.5, Summitar, Summarit, 90 elmars coated and non. Getting ready to scan the Realla
