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?)

Please don't mention verticals - hardly anything is vertical in Lüneburg, it has something to do with subsidence from the old salt mines.

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 I suspect this is a consequence of over-ripened (out of date) film.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!

Thanks for sharing images of places that we otherwise might never see.  :-)
