Calumet 45N, Schneider 210mm f/5.6, Portra 160.

Lesson learned, don't take Portra 160 to a golden hour portrait shoot.

callmebrick, nice portrait. Looks like you were shooting into the setting/set sun and the subject's face was in shadow, is this right? The light seems to come from behind or to camera right. Turning the subject to camera right or moving the camera position to the right would have worked well in my estimation.

It was an intentional choice to have sun behind her. I was trying to get a halo effect in her hair by having her backlit. Like so https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iWs7OqLo-LQ/maxresdefault.jpg

I had a reflector panel but it wasn't enough. Fill flash would have saved me, or if she'd arrived on time. I was surprised how fast the sun set once golden hour started.

Thanks for the comment!

The CB3B? What a fantastic photo. I very nearly put in on this crowdfunder but didn't quite have enough money to spare.

Thanks yeah it's that one
