Post your B&W Film shots

Made a guess as to the proper EI for this expired roll, and wound up underexposing most of the frames. Ah well. It also looks like my Helioplan may be slightly de-centered, as the left side of the frame is soft on every photo shot with it. Ah well again.

Ihagee Exa.

The third one looks to be really well exposed for such a difficult scene.

Thanks. I'd say it was skill, but that was really more pure luck as I didn't have time to meter that one.

Thanks. I ordered some new 80S and they came in boxes with the roll wrapped in plastic like other BW films in lieu of being unwrapped in a plastic tube. And they also have new backing paper. One of those rolls developed okay.

Also, there were short, wavy black lines that look like blades of grass in patches. Then there were black specs from missing emulsion. Geesh ...

Nice picture and a worrying array of problems with the films. Reminds me of an Amazon Spain review of HP5+ where apparently what arrived was an open film case with nothing but the butt of a used cigarette in it. I suspect he didn't get many good shots from that one.

I bought a cheap 720nm filter from China & added 5 stops. Possibly should have added more, but being a cheap filter there were no details about what its filter factor was.

Thanks!
