A lovely portrait, Carlos, perfect exposure with the black areas.
I hope your new computer does what you need it to.
Stay safe

Subject: [rollei_list] Rolleiflex 2,8C and some Rollei accesories
I'm writing from my 100% new PC and monitor, last Wednesday and Thursday one of
my children, Carlitos, assembled and put to work the PC components I was buying
along several months; my old PC still works fine, but I feared an unexpected
serious failure after several years of use.
I took this situational portrait when Carlitos started the task, I attached the
Rollei Plate Adapter back to the 2,8C Xenotar and loaded an Ilford FP4 6,5x9cm
film sheet into the film holder. I attached the Vivitar 283 electronic flash to
a flash bar and the flash bar to the Rollei Pistol Grip. I attached the
Rolleimeter to the 2,8C camera and the camera to the Rollei Pistol Grip and I
took the photograph rebounding the flash light on the ceiling. This portrait as
snapshot taken using a Rollei TLR camera is possible using the flash and the
Tolleimeter and even with the Rolleimeter was not so easy to focus due to the
poor lighting, but it worked fine, I think; it was one of the rare occasions I
used the Rolleimeter C, it still keeps the original calibration I did several
years ago, if I need to do it again some day, I don't recall details about how
I did it,but there is the manual.
