Tuco: really like the lines in that image.

and one more from that morning. Some fog can still be seen in the background of this one. I really like the Kodak film.

This one was F16ish at 1/200 and zone focused at 14 or 15 feet.

Nice tonal scale. Is your expired film the older TXP/TXT or the newer 320TXP?

Thanks. Were your soft focus examples showing the min/max it can do or something in between?

The first shot was around f5.6 to f8 which is has the least amount of softness; f11 to f22 has no softness. The last two shots were around f4 which has the most softness.

I forgot to right down the apertures when I was shooting. Still need to do more testing.

It is the newer 320TXP that expired in 2009, and it was processed in DD-x 1+4 for 8 minutes.

I was gifted several rolls of the stuff, and based on the results with the first roll, I am excited about shooting the rest.

Unlucky boat transport.
The supports where the boat rests on had some bad welding I guess :-)
Took this one handheld with the Pentax 67 and 105mm 1/60 sec!

Hi everyone -

I just got a "new" Pentax MX and SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.4 lens (with UV filter) this past weekend. Here are some of the best shots from my first roll. All were shot with Ilford HP5+ and developed at The Darkroom.

You can see these and all the rest at my Flickr page:

I have a stash of 320TXP I picked up before it was discontinued. I use to shoot TXP a lot but I really don't care much for the new version of it.

I have been scanning some older TXP negatives of some friends on backpacking trips and hikes we went on to put together a memory book for us. I will post a few later.

Very nice series. The second shot of the bike is my favorite of the group.

Very nice results. I've had a roll of HP5 in my Mju for a couple of months, I need to finish it off. It doesn't have the same allure as an SLR.

I'm revisiting some old scans with newer photoshop skills...

Thanks montman. With this recent project of scanning some older pictures to put together a scrap book, I realize the people shots are the most memorable.
