More and more film fun with something other than a Leica M

slowly but surely I'm gaining on the film thing. And I do mean slowly. Souped a couple rolls in my kitchen sink today and realized that I can actually count on the film/camera/exposure/development. I know that sounds crazy, but it has made me nervous to take the camera to something that I wanted to be "sure" of. Hey, what the heck, baby steps.

I know exactly what you mean... and yes, looking at this, you can indeed "count on" those elements. Very nice, Tim.

Thanks Cindy. I'm still determined although I think I need to get the negs into an enlarger. The scanning/digitizing adds a confusing wrinkle and makes it hard for me to judge how my negs are really looking. I know for sure I'm getting some extra density along the edges of the film. Winding too tight or agitation or both I think. And it doesn't take long to push the grain into view when using curves, etc. in PS. So I think I need a trip to the darkroom to make some paper prints.

A couple more.

Look great to me. Love the second one especially. :clap:

Nice shots Tim -- I think you will enjoy getting back in the darkroom -- there is nothing quite like a purely analog workflow.

Viablex -- that 43mm lens is really something, isn't it?

hello, I've been trying film (I have been doing digital-only for about 5 years) so: bought Neopan 100 (the only b&w here).

Please tell me what you think as I have no idea what I am doing.

developed in the local shop & I scanned it in a flatbed hp g4050.

shot with R9& 15/2.8
