Thanks, Tom!
The above shots are from late December 2010. I haven't got the time to develop, print, scan the rolls I shot this month - they are waiting in the fridge, so, hopefully this weekend.. 😀
Here are 2 more with the red curtain + Russar MR-2 5,6/20 (closed 1 stop) + orange filter.
I use mainly very slow films in the ~ 25ASA range.. - those shots were handheld @ 1/30 while hiking up there 🙂

Amazing!

I wish I had a darkroom and a way to shoot Blk N' Wht film that slow again........do they have a replacement yet for Agfa 25? You said the film you are using is Adox 25?

Really striking, I wish I could photograph my PinUps in this sort of manner, in like vintage nightgowns, giving it a real spooky 1940's Horror/Artistic theme 🙂

It's really wonderful what you are pulling out of a WW2 Leica here, I'm like fully blown away, this is great stuff!

I use mostly Adox CMS 20 - it is a microfilm, real hight resolution, transparent base. They say 800 l/mm and it comes with dedicated Adotech microfilm developer (for continuous tone).

I am pretty much after that retro type of look and You might love it for PinUps.
However, the above shots were developed in highly diluted Rodinal - the 1ts ones 1:300, the last 1:100... I kind a like it how it looks when developed in Rodinal..
btw:Adox Pan 25 is almost like Agfa 25.

Attached is a shot with the red curtain - same day, same light but + Summitar stopped @ f/4

Here is one more, red curtain + original uncoated Elmar f/3,5 - 50mm stopped @ f/4,5
Some folks like to believe uncoated lenses are low contrast...lol
Low contrast in what situation and what film? ; )

They were successfully deployed in many difficult weather situations during WW2 without incident Weith now or not they survived the 70 odd years longer in a state sufficiently intact to hold the light, only a post CLA will tell.
