Actually, I am a fan of that movie (have the DVD) and in fact that is exactly where I got the name for my alias. Tuco was the ugly.

Yep Eli Wallach, I've been meaning to ask you if you got "Tuco" from that movie. G&B&U is also one of my all time favorite movies.

Sweet series, John. #2 really rocks. And I particularly like #4

Nesster · 03-23-2012, 05:54 AM

+1 on that. #4 is awesome

An original Fiat 500 at the Washington DC Auto Show, Feb. 3. ME Super with 28mm f2.8 Quantaray lens, Ilford XP2 Super.

ES-II, SMC Takumar 50/1.4, Fomapan 400 in D-76. The Foma is expired in '09 (I think) and even when fresh should be metered more like ASA 200 - 320. I had the ES-II at 320, as I figured I'd go for the grungier look. I should have metered at ASA 200.

I have a mixed relationship with Foma 400 - when good it has a nice vintage grainy effect. But it can also be a disaster, especially this expired stuff. Foma 200 and 100 are much more forgiving and accurately rated films than the 400.

Pentax SFXn, Agfa APX 100, not sure the lens, probably my SMC Pentax-M 100mm f/2.8 lens.

@Nesster, I really like the way the subject, the grain, and the black and white complete this shot. Very nice. ( wish I had that Pontiac(?). )

Nesster · 03-29-2012, 06:12 AM

I'll have to walk by there to see what make it is, Pontiac may be right

thanks! When this film is right, it's very right in a grainy vintage way... but the expired stuff especially has a temperament!

Here's another one from the same expired roll of Foma 400:
