beautiful, but hardly tiny...

Thanks! I interpreted tiny format as "not sheet film". Or we're you referring to something else? I can get lost in the texture of her top.

Okay, here is tiny:

Great portrait Frank. I'm always astonished just how good the Rolleiflex is. I have a '58 Rolleiflex T that is my go-to non LF camera. It goes everywhere & does everything pretty darn well. Beautiful image in every respect.

Thank you, Greg!

Here's something a bit different. Paper negative selfies. Pre-flashed grade 2 RC paper cut to ~65mm x 35mm size, taped to pressure plate of old Minolta X700, set to aperture priority mode, ISO 25 with +2 stops exposure compensation dialed in, for effective ISO of 6. Lens set to f/4, camera determines the shutter speed, which was around 2 seconds. Developed in dilute paper developer, taped to inside wall of 2-reel stainless tank, rotary processed on its side using about 85ml of chemistry.

Lovely model, great shot and a delicious BW

My contribution to the thread. After getting a book with work from the old Hollywood photographer, Clarence Bull, I was inspired to try his style on a buddies daughter.
