Four shots on Fomapan 100 with an Orange #21 filter. (It was a cloudy weekend.) Developed in Rodinal. Shot with my Bronica ETRSi, and the 40mm ƒ4 lens for the three landscape shots and the 75mm ƒ2.8 for the town shot. Surprisingly grainy for 6x4.5 format. (after developing TMAX100 in Xtol on the 6x7, I'm spoiled.)

I agree about the Fomapan 100. I’ve shot the 100 and 400, and I find I like the 400 a lot more.

It was pensive... not its habitual place of abode, the window... it was a rainy day...

Heh, they're like dirt cheap now. Although getting working lenses seems to be more difficult than the bodies...

Close - taken from my car on the Queensboro Bridge, upper level, Manhattan inbound, right lane. The 100mm is perfect to avoid getting any portion of the side of the bridge.

I've gotten a few nice shots of the Roosevelt Is Tram from here as well (but with a 49mm which did not cut off the side of the bridge):

Electro35 with Holga 400 or (very likely) Fomapan 400

This is about the only frame salvageable from 2 rolls of Retro 80S due to emulsion flaws and backing paper damage. One frame even had a rectangular outline made up of hard debris on the emulsion like it formed around a piece of tape or something. Also, there were short, wavy black lines that look like blades of grass in patches. Then there were black specs from missing emulsion. Geesh ...

Nice photo! I did not like your description of the RR 80s problems though. I have a cache of 120 in the freezer and am now wondering if it is going to be problematic. I guess there is nothing to do but shoot it and hope for the best.
