First try with Amy's Rolleicord
I finally got to try a roll of film in Amy's grandfathers old Rolleicord. The camera is older than both me and Amy put together. She had done a roll in it previously - but we didn't know how to work the film counter and tried to use the red filter to just read the back of the film paper. But alas - that just resulted in lots of fog on the film. Her shots were also pretty overexposed and we weren't sure if it was the shutter, her metering, or the confusing selection of F-stops and shutterspeeds on the Rollei. (It jumps from f/11 to f/22 with no f/16 for example.) The shutter may be just a bit slow...but over all it looks like the camera works great! Can't wait to try and print some of these.
