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

Back from my trip to SoCal for this year's American Lancia Club "West Coast Reunion" and I have a bunch of photos made with the Leica M10-R to go through, pick, and render ... but wanted to carry a camera on yesterday's walk for some casual around the neighborhood snappies. So I grabbed one of my Polaroids ... ;)


Lucky - Santa Clara 2025


Empties - Santa Clara 2025


Olive Tree Orchard - Santa Clara 2025


Psychic - Santa Clara 2025

all:
Polaroid SLR670x by MiNT
Polaroid 600 B&W
Scanned on Epson XP-7100
Rendered in Lightroom Classic

First, third, and last had a green filter on the camera. I used manual exposure with the "Light Meter" app on my iPhone 15 Pro.

enjoy!

Interestingly, I have almost completed my two real-world projects comparing results of various films and developers along with several different 35mm cameras.

My favorite films, now, in ranked order with my preferred developer and an acceptable alternative, are:
  1. Fujifilm Acros II 100 Developer: Ilford DD-X
  2. Kodak TMax 100 Developers: Rodinal/Ilford DD-X
  3. Eastman 5222 X X 250 Developers: Ilford DD-X/Rodinal
My favorite film cameras and lenses:
1. Leica M2, 50 Summilux
2. Nikon F100, Nikon 50/1.5 G
3. Nikkormat, Nikkor Auto H 50/2.0

However, I have numerous other Nikon cameras that I will always keep. They are just a joy to use.

I will continue posting results on my film adventures as I am planning on future projects and the rolls of film I am shooting, developing and processing are not only honing my skills in this wonderful craft, but the entire process is therapeutic. More on my projects later.🙂

For now I will post a few images and later, as I continue on this fascinating journey.

First up are a few images from the last roll I just developed using the very capable and fun to use Nikon F80(seriously) with the Nikon 50/1.8.G lens;

From a walk on our trail newest home:l using expired Legacy Pro 100 film and DD-X developer:
