Just received my first Rollei CR 200 from the lab. It's basically a rebadged Agfa. Probably the strangest film I have ever used. It has a yellow cast that can produce some "interesting" results, but definitely not a film I can use every day. Here are some samples, uncorrected on purpose to show the cast. All with the Zeiss Ikon and ZM lenses.
It reminds me of the "SW" E100 series. Seems ideal for Asia or Texas - hot dusty humid places!
Ever since I upgraded to LR4, I have been seeing what's possible with my digital captures. Until tonight I hadn't really bothered to go and try to reedit my film scans, but I wanted to try some of LR4's handier tools (especially the WB grad).

I think the latter version is a little truer to the slide - definitely easier to keep the Velvia contrast but also manipulate the cast in just the shadowy parts of the image. A 16bit (or more) scan would have helped the sky a bit in the LR4 version.
Kind of a left over from Great Sand Dunes National Park. This was after I exposed a few other 4x5 slides. The light came and went in less than 10 minutes. Here it was waning. Not sure what I was composing but it was super quick and with a 210mm that was on for a photo before this. Kind of in between being not long enough and not wide enough for me.
4x5 Velvia 50
Crown Graphic Special
Graphic Kowa 210mm
f/32
Several seconds exposure, can't remember how many.
I do not. Never have since I can almost always notice them and I don't like that. Here (and the photo I took before this one) Velvia did surprisingly well with the sky. It was kind of a hazier light though since the sun was setting to the left behind a very thin layer of clouds.
