Model #3

See "Model #1 & #2" for background details - thinking more this was with a 120 or 135mm lens, thus reason had to cut off body parts in a short space and softness of the print. Probably on Kodacolor - NO post production from scan other than this time took a little of the reddish out, which was a characteristic of Kodacolor film.
This time going to see if anyone wants to look at the photo of the young lady versus discussing camera names or film types. <grin>

I like the photo, except for the model's facial expression. She seems either a bit angry at the photographer, or unsure of whether she is posing well and looking for assurance/confirmation. It would be better if she had a more demure and confident look.
I also have a bit of difficulty rationalizing the position of the makeup brush relative to her breast and her hair. It would be better if her hair were not over the breast and if the brush were higher in the air. As it is now it looks like she is powdering her breast... but her hair is in the way.
I know these are quibbles, but that is what I see as improvements in the image.
... and I was looking at the image!!!

As stated this was a group shoot so at this second she was probably "angry" at ME as we each would have been saying "look this way", often at the same time, thus probably her little confused look. Don't remember the why of the brush, probably just looking for a prop.
Not quibbles at all but also reason I only attended 2-3 group shoots. It almost took a vote to move a light. And poor models were getting constant conflicting directions for poses with 10-12 photogs, with 3-4 shooting at same time.

Thanks for the info. I think it explains the look on the model. She is probably thinking expletives.

Was it a 'Spotmatic', 'Spotmatic II' or 'Spotmatic F'?

I agree - these are 25+ yr old Kodacolor small prints that were known for their vibrant reds - these may have turned even more reddish/pinkish with age. If photos were better I would have spent a little time in PP but was surprised to find them and just posting basically as is.I think it would be better without the pinkish cast.

Mine were Spotmatic, first bought in 1967 in Germany, second in states in '68 or '69. The "II" I believe came out in 1970-71, the "F" know nothing but assuming later.Was it a 'Spotmatic', 'Spotmatic II' or 'Spotmatic F'?

Sure is easy to criticize a 25 year old scnnned print from Kodacolor when the photog was new and the equipment was not as advanced as what we have today. The model is probably a grandmothere by now, so I doubt the OP can go back for a second shot.
