Thank you, Lloyd. I'm actually going to India again in a couple weeks. Looking at these makes me wish I had a film camera to take along.Very nice set, John. Love that first one in particular. I'm wistful for those times myself... if I could have them without the ex-wife!!
Very nice work with the FM in '77.Thank you, Lloyd. I'm actually going to India again in a couple weeks. Looking at these makes me wish I had a film camera to take along.
Sometimes I think I should get a film M and a 50 or 35 and be done with all this -- for the rest of my life.
For me it could just be nostalgia. Sometimes we love the IDEA of something more than the realities of it. But the one thing I have little of is time. And I've no particular fondness for scanning.Very nice work with the FM in '77.
It's not so bad a thought. There are many times when I feel like chucking it all down to the basics like that. But then ... there are a lot of nice film cameras out there too. All different formats, types, etc. I've gotten into the 6x6 and Polaroid SX-70, done some more 35mm. Today I have my Minox EC loaded and in my pocket.
Onwards, always onwards!

man thats killer!!!!here is a self portrait with my wife; going out to my advisor's for dinner
c. 1975, Toyo view, 4x5, Schneider 210, scanned on epson 750
I love that Neopan 1600 as well. Now as for this shot... wicked good! :thumbup:
Not quite as tasty as scotch, but if it does the job ... ;-)For me it could just be nostalgia. Sometimes we love the IDEA of something more than the realities of it. But the one thing I have little of is time. And I've no particular fondness for scanning.
Still, the older I get the less I shoot, but the greater I value what I do shoot. And I'm pretty sure I'm no better a photographer than I was decades ago, despite the wonders of digital capture and processing.
For some reason this thread has made me reflective. Must be all that grain.
Um, I don't get the connection. Sorry.Godfrey, I guess you can see now where Fuji got the inspiration for their recent X series cameras!
Post some results soon.
Viablex1 - Great shot.. and Neopan1600! Did you stockpile it? After returning to film after 5 years, that's the one product I'm missing.
Jeremy - Great texture
Ben - Great detail and tonality. That's an interesting workflow I've not thought of.. Shoot film, scan it, and then run it through Nik Silver Efex Pro 2? How much processing do you do in there?Nikon F4s w/ 50mm f/1.2.
Emmawest - Lovely portrait, thanks for sharing!Shot with my one and only rangefinder....the Mamiya 7II. 65mm lens, Ilford Delta 100, processed with Nik Silver Efex Pro 2.
Photo taken a couple months ago....I finally got around to having the film developed last week. This locomotive has since been hauled off to the scrap yard.
Steve - Lovely animal shot!
This is another fairly old shot, done with the 105-280mm and probably Kodak E100VS. The fox pup was coming out of a den it had in the dune at a local beach. I used a blind for this, with a metz flash as fill.
Follow up and update: another Robot enthusiast from Germany has assisted me with some details:Something new to play with in the film universe arrived in the mail today:
1938-1940-ish Robot Star II
