When I first saw this negative, I was just a little disappointed that part of the mantis was slightly out of focus due to the shallow depth of field on medium format film. On the other hand, I was also pretty pleased with the image, considering I was hand holding a sixty year old Rolleiflex SL66 to get the shot. Luckily, I had a modern digital camera at hand to capture a tack sharp image of the scene. At the end of the day, though, the film image was my favorite photograph. You just can't beat the pentagonal bokeh of the old Rollei lenses.
Tasting notes: Rolleiflex SL66, Zeiss 120 mm f/5.6 S-Planar lens, Tri-X.
