Nice one. Love the atmosphere. Took a peek at the other photos on Flickr. A bunch of really great shots. Keep them coming here on PF

Finally got around to doing something with the most resent roll of B/W. Her are a few.

PENTAX K2, SMC Pentax-M 50mm F1.7, T-MAX 400

Very nice, my favorite is the first one. What film did you use and what developer?

Very nice set! How do you scan your negatives?

Haven't been shooting much lately: not enough hours of light; everything's various shades of brown, grey, and greyish-brown; and generally have felt less than inspired with the few rolls that came back. This one was OK, so may as well post something.

Zeiss-Ikon Nettar 517/16.
Novar-Anastigmat 75mm f6.3.
Kodak T-Max 400.

Thank you very much. I used a roll of KODAK T-MAX 400 developed with KODAK HC-110 (dilution B). Scanner is EPSON V850 with final dust removal and editing in Photoshop Elements 14

Those are excellent scans, especially for a flatbed.

Thanks, the V850 is an excellent scanner and I'm starting to get the hang of SilverFast which really has a bit of a learning threshold.

Those apug prices on the Autocords are really good deals. I think the next time I have some spare money to burn, I'll keep my eyes tuned over there. I would definitely like to add a clean autocord to my collection some day. I would also like to get another 2.8 TLR someday.

Back in an earlier life I was a camera dealer and I bought and sold all sorts of photo gear. Two cameras that I picked up and later sold for a good profit were a couple of Rollieflexes -- a 2.8C and a 2.8D. One had the Xenotar and one had the Planar. I wish I would have kept at least one of them. There was just an ineffable sort of quality to those lenses that, to this day, I miss. Here's a self portrait of me and my cat, Smokey, taken back in about 1990. The quality of that lens was just superb. And no, I don't recall which one it was.

A fairly heavy crop. I really need to stop listening to myself when I think "Nah, this is close enough for the shot."

(I think I need to adjust the amount of default sharpening applied to this collection in LR, however. This feels a bit oversharpened.)

Pentax 6x7.
SMC Pentax 67 75mm f4.5.
Kodak T-Max 400.

How do you like Silverfast compared to the Epson program that came with the V850? I just got the V800 with additional Silverfast, but I still use the templates from the V700.

The Epson program is more easy to use, but Silverfast is way more competent. Well worth the learning curve.

I've always found the Epson software to be robust and easy to use -- and Silverfast incomprehensible.
