Post your B&W Film shots

Not shooting a whole lot lately. But here's at least one shot that turned out mostly how I expected.

Guessing there was the yellow-green filter on the lens, based on the sky & the leaves.

Horizon 202.
Ilford HP5+.

I feel like this happened to one of my films, and the lab told me that it was "water damage". I thought maybe I'd got some water on the film when taking it out of the camera. Is this the famous problem? Would be interested to learn more, sorry, I don't know much about developing

You see this only on R80s 120 films, I suppose on one batch. It was a storage problem of the film in the plant (Foma) or from Maco. Sometimes you see also the numbers and dots from the paper...
The R80s in 120 can be replaced by RPX25, it is exactly the same film, but conditioned by Harman.

The issue is the near-infrared sensitivity of the film. With RR 80s in 120, some folk experienced exposure through the backing paper under warm conditions in the field or with normal storage. Mine came in a black plastic canister to help avoid this issue.

I'm familiar with that problem. I think I've experienced them all. The old backing paper had an issue too. And when the new backing paper first was introduced it had a hole in it that was mislocated over an active frame area. I didn't find any of them cool at all.

Excellent use of the 202. It does look like the camera is banding though.

Yeah. It definitely is. Sometimes more visible than others.

IIRC I was given some spare gearing for it when I received it; I should look to see if I can find a repair manual for it.

I bet there is a story around this one. It is rare to see peanut vendor trucks outside the south.

These pano camera photos are pretty compelling. I keep telling myself that I have too much gear.

One from the archives. Pentax MX, Fuji Neopan 100 film. I don't remember which lens, maybe my M100/2.8.

You don't. You should buy my 202 as I use my Noblex much more..

Seeing that sign was the first time I've ever heard of boiled peanuts. Perhaps the person is from the South.
