Elias -
You're welcome. ;-) My film arrived last week.
With color negative, over-exposure is your friend. Don't be afraid to
over-expose the film 1-2 f/stops... the negatives will be more
printable, more saturated, and you'll run less risk of thin shadows.
To my knowledge, the Planars and Xenotars have their best corrections
between f/5.6 - f/8. Because you have a 2.8 C, you will have a nice
smooth round aperture to work with. Don't be surprised if you get some
glow/bloom/flair around the highlights... it might well add to the
atmosphere of the shot.
Have fun... Hope to see the results in the Rollei Gallery...

Hello all,
Who was it that suggested we send in our name and address to Kodak
though a link offering trial rolls of film? I forget, but thank you.
I got my four rolls: two 135 Portra NC (160 & 400), and two 120
Portra VC (160 & 400). NC for Natural Color, and V for vivid. I'll
probably run the 120 VC through my Rollieflex over the weekend.
Our Town Hall is all lit up for the holidays, and I was thinking of a
night shot, any advice?
To abide by the rules and keep this "On Topic", the question is
really this: since the camera will be on a secure tripod and the
exposure will be in seconds, will it matter what aperture I select.
Is there a "best" opening for the 80 Planar?
Thanks,
E.
