B&W Testing CONTAX RTS II Quartz with old Agfapan 25

[pentaxpete]

Continuing my Experiments with 01/1991 Dated AGFAPAN 25 and FX-4 formula diluted 1+3 i loaded my 'Saved From The Dump' Contax RTS II Quartz and set 'auto' exposure to see how results compared with Weston Master meter used previously. I processed exactly the same . Results from the Zeiss Planar 50mm f1.4 T* were all disappointing -- 'back focus' and many vastly over=exposed due to stop down problems. I carefully focused at f1.4 and f2.8 and shots were out of focus. The ones I took on the Yashica ML 28mm f2.8 lens were good, so today I have loaded my 'Saved From The Dump' Yashica FR-1 and fitted the Planar onto that.

It’ll be interesting to see the Yashica + Planar results. My RTS Mk1 has two Yashica lenses - the 50mm and the 28mm, and both present good results.
