But it was worth it. The camera works perfect. It takes 120 medium format size film. My choice of film to try it out is 120 T-Max B&W Film. My model for the test is my father. I’m hoping to explore more with this camera. Recently I acquired 40 rolls of 120 expired film. Can’t wait to see what random results I’ll get from the experiments.
Here’s the Rolleicord III TLR Camera:
And here are two of my test shots:

I’d love to get into some older film cameras, but I’m so lost.
For “test” shots, you sure are producing some very good work. Good job, can’t wait to see more from this camera.

I used my 35 mm to meter the shots.

i agree 120 is really fun to shoot. I have been playing around with it as well. how did you meter the shot?

medium format is a perfect combination of coziness and clarity. i did a similar shot with digital looking down into a medium format here (have a look http://heatherparker.com/blog/2009/10/22/destination-shoot-booked-in-jamaica/)

Medium format gives such a wonderful feel. Dream like quality to those portraits.

Ben, never too late to try shooting again with it. It will bring excitement in your photo world:)
