Billy: Nicely done, I especially like the 2nd one, which looks like it was made with the 21.

Welcome to the forum!
 
Thanks! Been just absorbing information for a little while in the background.
It was actually the C/V 35 with... HP5 I believe.

I recently travelled thrice to Toronto, for personal reasons (I live in Europe).

Third trip (May 2011, one week, nice weather) photos were exclusively shot with a Rolleiflex 3.5F on HP5+, home souped and scanned.

So, here are a few which I like a bit.

Some people on Bloor W. :

I have many 35mm BW photos of this city, which I liked quite a lot, and a few color slides as well. More later...

Thank you.

Kensington Market

Car-free one weekend a month during the summer. Always a carnival with a great mood. Pix show a lady dancing with a "mature" gent, his cane and drink glass . . . need I say more? :)

Well, that's all about this Rolleiflex series, will post some 35mm shots later.

Thank you for looking.

During that last May 2011 trip in Toronto I met, by chance, behind the TIFF Lightbox building, a very friendly and smart RFFer named Franck and we discussed about my Contax IIa and my Rolleiflex. He was riding a nice fixie. I don't recall his nickname here. So, if you read this, Franck, please receive my warmest thoughts.
