Another from the only Vollenda test roll. This stylish building looks to date from the mid 18thC, but could be later, but whenever it was built, it's got a lot of pzazz! Now a shop selling artists materials and prints, the first floor balcony and the classical proportions give it a very "renaissance" appearance. Although called Kodak, the Vollendas were based on cameras designed by Nagel-Werke, Stuttgart, before the company was bought by Eastman Kodak in 1932. Well designed and built, but they used the wretched 620 films, so unless you are prepared to re-roll 120 films, they are only shelf queens! This one was beyond realistic repair so it became a parts donor! 1935 Kodak Vollenda 620, f4.5/105mm Schneider Xenar lens, x2 yellow filter. Fomapan Ultra 400 in D76H 1+1, 13mins @21C. Scanned @1200dpi on Epson V500
