Totally OT equipment and negative film too - trying out my Rollei 3003, bought recently to replace an SL2000F that finally gave up the ghost (IMO - the most innovative 35mm camera ever made - the only thing missing is a digital back) with a Voigtländer Color-Skoparex 4/21mm (poosibly the most compact 21mm along with its twin the Rolleinar 4/21) on dreary, wet and windy days in Hannover and Lüneburg. The film was cheap Fuji consumer negative stuff that was well over its sell-by date (or are Fuji colours always a bit strange?)City Square in Lüneburg, Lower Saxony http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/120735-1/20080307-imm005_5A-Edit.jpg http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/120738-1/20080307-imm006_6A-Edit.jpg http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/120741-1/20080307-imm008_8A-Edit-Edit.jpg http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/120744-1/20080307-imm009_9A-Edit.jpg http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/120747-1/20080307-imm010_10A-Edit-Edit.jpg http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/120759-1/20080307-imm015_16A-Edit.jpgPlease don't mention verticals - hardly anything is vertical in Lüneburg, it has something to do with subsidence from the old salt mines.The edge of the 'Altstadt' in Hannover, Lower Saxony The old town hall http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/120756-1/20080307-imm012_12-Edit-Edit.jpg The old town hall and the Marktkirche in Hannover http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/120750-1/20080307-imm015_15-Edit.jpg No idea what the pentagram on the church tower means .

Good Mornin' Douglas! Overall, a nice series.However, on my monitor it appears that the contrast is a wee bit high, in all of them. I suspect this is a consequence of over-ripened (out of date) film. There also seems to be a fair bit of grain ... particularly in the last one ... imm030_31A. This, too, may be because of the beyond date film. I just didn't expect that much grain from any 6x6 negative.
As for the shots, an interesting series ... and I LOVE the spires on the old town hall, in Hannover's Atstadt. Great architecture!
