Freshman Masterpiece Radio - a photo on Flickriver

            Film: Rollei ATO 2.1 at 6 ASA
Process: 1+50 Rodinal
Camera: Wisner Traditional 4x5
Lens: Rodenstock Geronar f6.8/210mm

I had a box of ATO that needed to be used. It is really flimsy stuff that is difficult to handle and has stupidly high contrast.

Being orthochromatic film, I decided to shoot my 1924 Freshman Masterpiece radio using the Geronar triplet lens. As the subject wasn't in direct sunlight, I rated the film at 6 ASA instead of 12. Of the six shots I took, only two were half decent, yet the negatives were still thinner than a mosquito's penis. Scanning them revealed a whole lot more detail than I expected although every little speck of dust was also revealed. Kinda made it all worthwhile I reckon.
