Last roll for the Rolleiflex

It's not what you think. I have several Rolleiflexes, and I decided to sell one of them to pay down some debt.

This one has the f/3.5 75mm Xenotar, and I figured that I would let it go out with a bang. In this case, it was a roll of Agfapan APX 400.

I bought several bricks of APX 100 and APX 400 shortly after Agfa got out of the film business. It's a lovely film, as we all know. Lately, I've been processing it in Adox ATM-49, which is the old Agfa Atomal formula.

I use it as a one-shot developer, diluted at 1+2 (150ml ATM-49 + 300ml water) for 15 minutes.

I find it funny that the product sheet has all of these times for various films, and they all basically are 1+2 for 15 minutes.

Nice, Mike. Amazing what a Rolleiflex can do in the right hands.

What a nice send-off. And hopefully the new owner is as good a photographer as the former owner.
