This is what I have been excitedly anticipating and was the reason for the purchase.
Rolleiflex SL66E + new film back without overlap issues + Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f2 HFT + 120 Kodak Tri-X film..with lens set at full tilt for all images. It brings me back to my D800 freelensing days and at last I can start to get arty again! :) One thing I can't do with a Leica so really miss it.
Photos were taken in low light so I shot Kodak Tri-X 400@1600 approx then in developing wanted to create high contrast images so I did my usual Rodinal semi-stand development for 45mins at 21 degrees but with agitations every 10 minutes.
The negatives were therefore shot underexposed by 2 stops. I wanted to keep the blacks black and get the highlights to the brightness I saw when taking the image. By agitating more during the development the highlights get developed more than with regular stand developing to hopefully have 'correctly' exposed highlights.
The lighting for most of these photos was contrasty anyway so I had no interest to keep shadow detail.
