Carlos, that's a nice collection.
I'm sure you know that with the Scheimpflug principle, when tilting the lens
with respect to the film plane, the plane of focus is no longer parallel to the
film but, with respect to the SL66, it leans forward like a piece of cardboard.
With the focus hood, being taller than the rest of the items it goes above the
plane of focus, a bit like the items being tilted and submerged underwater but
the top of the camera is above the surface and so it is no longer in focus.
Do you have the Scheimpflug calculation cards for the SL66? I think I have a
spare if you would like one.
John

Subject: [rollei_list] Rollei SL66 Distagon 4/80
I took yesterday a photograph about the equipment my father often used when he
had photography as a hobby;it's from the '50s and I'm still using it. The
Rolleiflex 2,8C Xenotar and the Gossen Sixtomat and the Walter Voss Diax IIb
are in perfect working order.
The image was taken with the Rolleiflex SL66 CZ Distagon 4/80, Kodak Tmax 100
developed with Romek PQ7 1:3. I used the camera capability to tilt the lens,
the 2,8C viewfinder hood is out of focus slightly and its Xenotar lens is in
focus, it happens due to the Scheimpflug angle, I need a bit more of practice:
