This is one of two test rolls (Rollei Retro 400) I took randomly to test out my GF670. I&#8217;ll talk about the camera later on.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fuzzyeyeballs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/gf670-rollei-retro-400-test-roll-2\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Notice the white patch on the bottom right of the photo above? Okay &#8230; here&#8217;s the whole story. Loading the 120 film for developing proved to be a big challenge for me. After a couple of attempts, I got fed up and sort of manually roll the film into the spool thingie. I suspect it could be due to me (the clumsy one) rolling the film a little too tight &#8230; that some of the frames (and parts of others) were not developed properly. There were patches of white\/grey on the negatives! Damn!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fortunately few of them survived and I was able to confirm that my fuzzyeyeballs can focus pretty well using the rangefinder. Phew! Okay &#8230; so the camera works great, metering seems good &#8230; but the roll is &#8230; a big mess.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fuzzyeyeballs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/gf670-rollei-retro-400-test-roll-2\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fuzzyeyeballs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/gf670-rollei-retro-400-test-roll-2\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fuzzyeyeballs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/gf670-rollei-retro-400-test-roll-2\/4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After two test rolls (the 2nd one has been put to a KIV status after I screwed up this roll and will be developed in a day or two after I get over the mess) &#8230; I am definitely sure the GF670 will be a camera to stay for good in my cabinet. The shutter is super duper silent &#8230; something which I don&#8217;t quite get used to.
