Post your B&W Film shots

The problem with shooting swing-lens cameras into the sun is that you can wind up with a very abrupt change in exposure once the lens has rotated enough that the housing starts acting like a shade. If you look closely, you'll probably be able to spot where I had to blend that change together using the heal & brush tools.

Unfortunately this roll confirmed that the camera has some serious banding on the slow speeds, and it may also have broken partway through. (The lens jammed midway through a shot— refusing to complete the exposure, but also refusing to advance. It's since fixed itself, but the shutter selector switch no longer lines up with the numbers.

)

Horizon 202. (Maybe with the yellow-green filter? I can't recall.)
Film Photography Project Dracula 35. (Rebadged Svema FN64.)

I've been sorting out my Lightroom libraries etc. after a series of events I won't bore you with and rediscovering old images I had never worked on before. This one was shot using a Pentax MX, SMC Pentax "K" 17mm fisheye and Fuji Neopan 100 film. (Cross-posted with other relevant threads.)

That's cool. The amount of DOF on a 17mm is amazing.

Caffenol CL stand development with weird "strands" on the scans (?) ... Fomapan 100 and first outing with a recent thrift store acquisition, a nice silver Nikon FE with a Nikkor E 28/2.8

I'm sorry to hear about your camera issues, but... i really like this image. I thought about getting some of the Dracula, wish I had now. Love the contrast.

A house and a MINI

Shot with an old Zeiss Nettar folder on TMAX400 that I should have over-exposed a bit more... it expired in 1995...

I swear I framed this better, but the sports finder isn't much better than the little mirror viewfinder...

Back before the shutter went on my 6x6 Nettar, I used to frame roughly dead-centred thanks to how poorly the viewfinder worked for composition otherwise.
