Rolleiflex 2.8F Planar Color qustion

Hello guys, I got my text roll & scan back with my Rolleiflex 2.8F Planar.

 

 

The picture come out yellowish.....it was cloudy sky, out door situation. At out door, picture should be

blue-ish isn't it. The film is Fuji Astia 100.

 

Is it always like that? is it more suitable for B&W pictures?.....the camera is old, i wasn't expect the picture

it came out looks old too.

 

Thanks.

You either have bad film or got bad processing. There is nothing wrong with the camera or lens to prevent decent trannys.

That is an interesing image. Looks like some manipulation going on but very interesting.

The Planar is known to give warm results though not outlandishly. I think it is because the

coating they used is yellowish as compared to the Xenotar coating is purple/bluish. The

Xentoar is known to give colder color images than the Planar. Your image seems to be

warm in the sky and blue on the ground. Not sure what is up with that. Maybe you shot

late in the day and the sky was actually going quite warm since in Winter the Sun doesn't

get up that high anyway and the color is warmed by the atmosphere. Try again with

different film.

Seems to have a slight magentish cast to it as well, which can be caused by the film getting too hot before processing.

Dennis, lens color coating doesn't affect the final color image. As Ronald said, the culprit was film and or processing as well as what Mike said.

Well now I have heard that is does and it doesn't affect color. Still the Xenotar gives cooler

images than the Planar,
