That print looks great! Not a ton of grain, and what is there only adds to the photo. Scanning seems to be a learned skill in itself, what are you working with?
Originally posted by montman My main go to camera was a Pentax LX with A 50 1.2 though the ME Super was used a lot as well with the M 50 1.4, my wife used the ME Super a lot. There are a few shots from a Mamiay 645AF. Most the film is tri-x 400 with a little Neopan 100. I think I shot a wedding during that time and used some color but because I was developing every day I was mostly shoot b&w. I had a light leak in my change box which took about 8 batches of film till someone help me figure it out. Also using distilled water for the final rinse made a huge difference with the water spots.
Bummer about the light leak....tough to lose that much work, but I guess that is part of shooting and developing your own film. I just purchased a LX and have a K1000 to go with it.....need to get a bit of glass (would love a 50mm f1.2) Those two paired with my Hasselblad MF system and I would be ready to go! Now I just need to make the commitment to B/W. I think overall it would help my photography and my "eye"....seeing your work makes me want to test that.
Once again, good work and I look forward to more in the future.
