Thanks, JT. I made a mistake, however. This is not a film shot, and belongs on digital black and white thread.

Nice shots, Phil. One of these days we should do coffee when I'm out near UBC. Our K2DMDs could share stories...

Scored at the thrift store today - got an Olympus Stylus Epic with the 35mm 2.8 lens. As luck would have it, the battery was still good, and I had a dummy roll of film in my pocket (for testing a film body later at work). Dropped in the film, fired it up, and confirmed everything was good to go - nice way to spend $5! The cover is worn but the optics are pristine. Time to drop a roll of Acros into this puppy...

Thanks! Sure let me know when you head out to UBC and I'll meet you for a coffee. I'm semi retiring tomorrow so will have more time on my hands.
Nice pickup getting the Olympus for $5.00!

Yes, I was pretty pleased to find one. I've been keeping an eye out for an XA and/or a Stylus Epic, and today was my day.

I'll drop a line a bit in advance of when I come out next. Congrats on (semi) retirement! I've a long way to go before that's a reality, alas...

Not a great scan, a shot I took of a lone tree on a hilltop in front of my mother's house in Texas many moons ago. Taken around 1990 or so with a Pentax KX and 50mm. The horizon is not off, the hilltop slopes like that.

Hello everyone. My name is Ken and I am new to the forum, and to black and white film for the most part. Even though I shot roll upon roll of film in my youth, the photos were snapshots taken with point and shoots. Then, with digital taking over I went that route, ultimately settling on a Pentax K10d. I got back into film by collecting old lenses for the K10, some of which came with bodies attached. I lucked into a nice Spotmatic, picked up a Holga and dug up a Ricoh KR-5 from a high school art class.

Long story short, I stumbled upon this thread thread and it inspired me to try my hand at developing my own film at home. The work here is fantastic, and I hesitate to even post my first attempts. These were all taken with a Holga 120S on Ilford Delta 400 Professional film processed in Ilfotec DDX then scanned on a V600 with no post processing. Feedback and constructive criticism welcome. Thanks.

nice try ! developping on its own film is very rewarding according to many people here

picture are nice, maybe the metering is a little bit off, but overall they are really nice. For my own tast i would have shaken a bit more the tanker to increase contrast but i guess the Olga lens and maybe my screen don't really helps

Thanks for the feedback! I may try that next time I process, learning as I go. I agitated based on ilford's instruction which call for four inversions at the start of each minute, how much more would you recommend?

I expected the metering to be off since the Holga has neither shutter speed control nor aperture control. I picked the Holga up for fun; mainly to see what all of the fuss was about. The roll I am shooting now is 35mm Ilford HP5+ in the KR-5.

About 4 inversions each minute is the normal I've used for 50 years. Without seeing the actual negatives I'd guess the non-adjustable Holga may simply be underexposing. Back in film/printing days rescuing flat negatives was just part of the process, using higher contrast paper, etc.

It's a Holga! There is no meter in the camera. And if the 120S is like the 120N, you only have a choice of two apertures (sunny and cloudy) and one shutter speed besides bulb.
