I tried out a new kind of film with a new to me, old to the world camera over the past few weeks. The camera was a Miranda Automex III that was made in 1965 - it has a selenium meter but I didn't have the right kind of battery so I used an external meter. The film was Rollei Redbird(400 ISO) - which is C41 film that is rolled backwards so you shoot through the base. This gives the images a diffused look and the decidedly red tone. I tried various exposures and shot it in multiple locations - it seems to be more red(and look better) when under-exposed. Its not something that I will shoot very often - but its fun for the vintage, Instagram-y, old filmy look....
"Laura and Couch" - the yellow/orange here is pretty cool.
"Old Skool" - all washed out.
"From The Rail" - this seems about the perfect exposure.
"Woods and Sun"
"Flowers and Grain"
"Redder than Red" - probably not the best film for tight portraits! I do look the look of this 50mm Soligar f/1.9 lens though.
My nephew Andrew was super intrigued by my vintage light meter - he didn't want to give it up.
"RR Crossing"
