Rolleiflex Tessar vs Planar

[Paul Ozzello]

Tessar all the way. It's just as sharp in the center but has a much more "organic feel"

I used a Rolleicord II in the mid 1970s the Triotar lens was superb for portraits, I'd use one again.

I took my Rolleicord II for a walk on the Appalachian Trail yesterday — here’s a scan of the kallitype I made from the roll this morning:

The images look great, i really like the first 3. What post did you do on the images?

Hi,

I just got a tessar Rollei. What kind of film were you using in the black and white photo's. I'm using mostly kodak tri-x.

If you mean Matus Kalisky's photos, he used Ilford Pan F+ and FP4+. (If you clicked on the images they would have taken you to Flickr with that info).
