Absolutely beautiful. You really brought it back to its former glory

WE HAVE PICTURES!

And this time we win!!!

After fixing the light leak I loaded a roll of BW400CN. If there is any light leak, the ISO400 roll will definitely show it. No meter. Just Sunny 16 and adjusted accordingly.
Just received the online scans from The Darkroom! Negatives will be here in a few days.
These are untouched scans except for resize and signature.

Porta Coeli church in San German, Puerto Rico. One of the oldest church structures in the western hemisphere dating back to 1606.

OOPS! When you get overly excited and forget to advance...

From the Porta Coeli stairs

The stairs

San German is the second oldest town in Puerto Rico dating back to 1511

Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico

Minimum focusing distance test: Measured exactly 3.5 feet as per the lens scale.

These adventures are so relaxing!!! I'm very happy! What do you think?

Thanks,
Ismael

Excellent photos!!! This is the beauty of B&W. No distraction, just the scene and that feeling of traveling back in time.

Great pictures Ismael. B&W was my wife's favorite format when she was shooting film.

These look fantastic, Ismael!

That Pony 135 has a nice little lens on it, eh?

I notice what looks like some very mild "bromide drag" at the edges on a few of the shots - I wonder if this is due to the age of the film, or a problem during developing? Might be worth enquiring with the lab, just to rule out any problem with the cameras (although I'm pretty sure it's film or development related)...
