Film Fun Folio #3: Balda Pontina and Fuji Velvia 100

Periodically, I'll be posting scans of some complete rolls of film on here, showing both the good and the bad, and giving some basic information as well a little write up of the shoot as well as the reasons why I selected each camera and film.  Enjoy the trip! 

Feature #3:
Camera: ca. 1938 Balda Pontina 6x9 120 folding camera
Film: Fuji Velvia 100
Locale: Central Maryland
June of 2015

If I had to choose only one camera to shoot film with, this would probably be my choice. While short of perfect, the Balda Pontina and its Meyer Gorlitz Trioplan lens, has taken some of the most vivid and lifelike photographs that I have been fortunate enough of which to be a part of creating.  Generally speaking, my most likely film of choice for this old folder would be Velvia 50, renowned for its amazing color rendition and intense saturation. However, I had a roll of V-50's faster sibling, Velvia 100, that I elected to run through this classic camera to generate some hopefully predictable, yet pleasing results.

1 - Glenelg, MD - f/5.6 1/250 - My first shot of the roll offers a slightly contrasty yet well rendered scene by the Balda.
