Rollei's TLRs, the Rolleiflex and the Rolleicord all use a system of numbered bayonet mounts to mount filters, lens hoods and accessories, rather than the common screw-in type mounts on modern SLR lenses. Using a Bay I filter is similar to using filters on a screw-in system; however, using filters on a TLR can prove more difficult because you will not be able to see the effect of the filter directly through the viewing lens. Each filter --- whether you used color filters for black and white, a polarizer filter for adding contrast and saturation, or one of the proprietary Rolleinars for close focusing --- is used in much the same way.
Instructions
Colored Filters
- 1
Load your Rollei TLR with traditional black-and-white film or color-negative-based black-and-white film. Select a red, yellow or green colored filter with the appropriate Bay I mount.
2Mount the TLR onto a sturdy tripod. Mount the colored filter onto the bottom lens, which is the lens which will expose the film. The top lens is the viewing lens. Cock the shutter. Focus the TLR on a subject in front of the TLR. Release the shutter and expose one frame of film. Wind the film and cock the shutter for the next frame. Write down the exposure settings.
3Select a different colored filter and repeat Step 2. Try to repeat these steps for each colored filter. Repeat these steps in varying light conditions. Expose all 12 frames on your roll of 120 film or all 24 frames on your roll of 220 film.
4Develop the black-and-white film and print. Examine the prints and note any variations in contrast and tone in the highlights and the shadows and compare your notes with the notes you took while exposing those frames. This will give you an understanding of how each color filter affects the negative.
Polarizer
- 5
Load your Rollei TLR with color negative film. Mount the TLR onto a sturdy tripod. Focus your TLR on a subject in front of you or set it to infinity. Place the polarizer over the top viewing lens. Examine the contrast and saturation. If the polarizer is circular, then twist the polarizer and note the effects on contrast and circulation as the polarizer rotates. Mount the polarizer onto the Bay 1 mount of the taking lens.
6Cock the shutter of your TLR and expose one frame. Cock the shutter again and rotate the polarizer one turn. Expose a second frame. Continue this procedure until you have rotated the polarizer one full revolution. Make a note of your exposure values for each frame and the position of the circular polarizer.
7Develop and print your color negative film after you expose all 12 frames for 120 film or 24 frames for 220 film in varying lighting conditions. Examine the prints and note the differences in overall color saturation and contrast. Compare these notes with your data regarding the position of the polarized filter. TLRs present a unique challenge when using polarized filters because you cannot directly observe their effects through the taking lens. You must set the polarizer correctly by using the viewing lens and then transfer it to the taking lens.
Rolleinar
- 8
Load your TLR with either black and white or color negative 120 or 220 film. Mount your TLR onto a sturdy tripod in front of a close object.
9Mount the Rolleinar to the viewing lens Bay I mount. Focus on the nearby object. You may have to move the TLR back and forth physically to get correct focus.
10Cock the shutter. Remove the Rolleinar from the viewing lens and mount it on the taking lens. Raise the TLR so the taking lens is in the exact position that the viewing lens occupied while focusing on the subject. Because of the TLR's design, close focusing is increasingly difficult, as the subject in focus in the viewing lens may actually be substantially higher than what the taking lens would expose, so you must raise the taking lens to the area where the viewing lens was when you focused.
11Expose one frame. Take notes of the subject that you exposed and sketch the approximate framing of the subject through the viewing lens. Continue to expose frames until you complete your roll of film.
12Develop and print the film. Examine the results of your close focusing and note any focus errors, particularly in how the photo was framed. Note any differences between the print and what you saw in the viewing frame. Adapt later according to these differences when using your Rolleinar for close focusing.
