Okay, here are the first results from the 6 x 9 Rollex back on my "ancient" Voigtlander Avus 9 x 12 camera. Film is Ektar 100 scanned on the Epson 3200 flatbed.


Somehow it is difficult to get the Ektar color profile right with the scanner but the proof prints from the photo shop weren't much better. Of course, the uncoated 4,5/13,5 cm Zeiss Tessar could have something to do with it. Will a good multi-coated Skylightfilter actually help this, if I can find one in 42 slip-on mount (B&W)?

The Tessar is reasonably sharp but not as sharp as my Xenotar on the Rolleiflex 3.5E!

You will detect light leaks from the top (darkslide slit?) in two images. Need to narrow down that problem. Otherwise not a bad performance for a 75+ years old camera.
