Roland Test Film



I bought a camera several months ago at the thrift store, not knowing what it was.  I knew it was German and looked cool, and had a nice leather case.  Once I got it home, though, and looked it up, I learned I had a small treasure in my hands - a Roland Plasmat from the early 1930s.  Unfortunately, the lens didn't focus, so I had to get it repaired.  I just got it back, and ran a roll of film through.  I'm still learning getting acquainted with the shutter speeds, focus, and framing, but I already love the softness it produces.  Is this what 1933 looked like?
