do my photos need to be in focus? lol..! england 0 germany 1

Pulverantic challenge with @stereograph. Total cock -up on my part! Forgot to remove the half frame mask from the rodenstock so none of the compositions are as I envisioned them and obvious issues with focusing, however pleasing tones from PC2

    It gives a very pleasant vintage look, like 60's holidays pictures.

    I dearly like that pleasant vintage look.
    You might call it mistakes, i call it beauty! :)
    By the way: yesterday i exposed a 35mm film in an agfa clack camera following your instructions and it worked very well as far as i can tell without having seen any results ;)
    Thank you so very much for your detailed instructions!! It was so comfortable just following them step by step!
    This community is a fabulous one, sharing so much knowledge!

    @stereograph @lalouve you guys are so sweet, have fun😁. I meant to say Lena, my instructions were actually a bit over complicated! Its actually possible to just wedge a 35mm cartridge in most cameras and pull the leader over the film plane, then tape to a to a spool. Easy!
