One of the nice aspects of traditional B&W film photography, is the possibility to choose your tools – beginning with the camera lens, the film, the exposure and development technique, as a function of desired image tonality, and contrast. Old school B&W is all about an extended scale of grays, with good shadow detail. While it is fairly easy to vary the exposure/development stage, and great films, like Tri X are still widely available, a lens that is well suited for B&W is always a treasure to behold.
These photographs have been taken with a Bronica RF 65/4 Zenzanon lens.
