Some shots of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. These were taken on an Olymous Mju compact with Kodak T-Max 400 film.

Local shop got this in, and I've been looking for a good replacement for Neopan 400. Since I often pushed the latter, I decided to take this with me to the museum and shoot it there. Unfortunately a combination of a lens that appears to have metered poorly with the camera [Adaptall-2 28/2.5] and some less than perfect push processing — I don't think the lab had pushed this before I dropped off a roll — resulted in a very underexposed roll.

Ah well. Still two more rolls I've been shooting at box speed to see how it performs.

Pentax K2.
smc Pentax-A 50mm f1.4. (Probably, anyway. Since they required only some adjustment in post.)
JCH Streepan 400 pushed to 1600.

I ran a few sheets of 4x5 Arista 400 through a home made box camera with a 65mm Angulon lens on it. I had some poor development, due to light leaks and possibly a slow shutter, but I like this photo quite a bit regardless. I've taken steps to address most of the light leaks, really looking forward to the next batch!

Well spotted. All the others were with 50mm, So I missed the swap to M28mm/2.8 (Will alter accordingly)

New guy working the counter at the local spot when I dropped this roll off. He actually took a photo of the cannister, since it was the first time he'd seen a roll of Neopan 400.

Unfortunately, this is almost my final roll of it.

Spotmatic II.

Acros, sp, st 50/1.4, lab dev & scan (TIW).

This is my first foray into b+w film in many a moon (like, since 1990!). I shot the one roll of acros 100 in Hamilton during 'supercrawl' prep (regrettably not staying for the actual event) a week ago, and have two hp5+ in reserve. The guy behind the counter at TIW reckoned it was overexposed by "4 or 5 stops", which I find a bit hard to believe, though the negs are pretty dense, and (I gather) acros has tremendous latitude.

I've had some problems with my hand-held meter, it is often unresponsive until I whack it, but I dialed exposure back a couple of stops from my usual 250/f8 for fast color film in bright sunlight, and gave it an extra half-stop for shadow detail (superia can get very very nasty in underexposed shadows), for the extremely contrasty afternoon (so exposed the acros @ 125/5.6+/-, the meter concurred). I'll likely be posting a few more from the roll here or in the 'show us your film shots' thread.

Same as previous except: adaptall 24/2.5

I'm also sad to see Neopan 400 go. Have you found a replacement for it?
