My Pentax SV needs some TLC.
The shutter curtains seem very wrinkly. The negatives are very uneven along the edges. Will send it to Eric to see if it can be brought to good working order.

Those are some absolutely great tones.

This is from the dirt cheap MZ-5N I picked up the other month. Unfortunately the autofocus motor died about halfway through the roll, so I had to finish it as a manual focus camera.

I thought about going back with a longer lens & trying to retake this photo to remove the foreground, but in the end decided I liked the symmetry between the wires crossing the sky above & the streetcar tracks crossing the road in front.

Kodak Brownie No. 2A, model C adapted to use 120 film. Shot using the "middle" aperture which is supposedly around f/9. Ilford HP5+ stand developed in Caffenol CL for 60 minutes. I messed up the drying of the film with some streaks evident. My grandfather bought this camera in 1924 when it was introduced and he gave it to me when I was 10 years old. It is special to be able to shoot with it again.

I'm pretty certain this is my first ever post in this thread

Not the best shot with which to begin my occasional involvement, but it's significant to me. This was one of my first ever B&W film photos, taken some years ago with an original GOST-calibrated Soviet LOMO LC-A compact on Ilford XP2 Super 400 (C41 process) film, and developed by the very inconsistent photo lab at my then-local Tesco supermarket (because I didn't know any better back then ). I remember that I was experimenting with the LC-A's zone focusing system at the time, and this seemed like a reasonable subject for that. What's significant to me, though, is that this is the first negative I've digitized myself using my recently-built rig - consisting of my old K-5 plus D FA100/2.8 Macro WR, CS-720 copy stand, Kaiser Slimlite Plano 2453 light panel and EFH "Essential Film Holder" (which arrived this morning), and processed with Negative Lab Pro in Lightroom 6...

Treat me gently with this first tentative post in the thread, eh folks?

I like it, Mike! I believe there is a "benches" sub-forum somewhere on here. - Jack
