If anyone is interested I got my first roll of 35mm back today. With the Chinon I posted about earlier. More than welcome to check it out and I would love some feedback. I'll get the copies back sometime in the mail. But I am glad to see that everything came out sharp and no leaks or anything I could see.

All shot on the Chinon cm-5 with Pentax-A 50mm 1.7
This will be a learning experience and I don't plan on shooting with film like I do with digital. Mainly for the cost, but initially the few shots I love, I really love and it's something not like digital. Kind of liked the surprise of waiting to find out.
Few things I have already learnt:
1- bad light is bad light. You can see which were shot mid day in harsh direct sun
2- although I tend to shoot landscape most of the time, they were my least favourite. Maybe because I miss the detail of digital.
3- My favourite shots were actually the ones I was trying to shot different, or not my normal style. Favourites are the Plane with the sun, my friend drinking the beer, the locker room with rain jackets & the cloths line.
4- Rainy day vibes seemed to look right on film.
5- because this was a test roll, I did take some shots to just take some shots., I also had a few accidental fires from the shutter.But in the future I think I'll save if for when I feel it is right to shoot on the film and the rest can fall into digital
Over all it was what I was expecting. A few keepers and loads of work to be done. Think i just have to stick with my gut when the time is right for film and when digital is the one to go with. Now that I know it works fine I'll take my time of the next rolls of films, while keeping notes incase, and see from there.
Thanks everyone who gave me tips and advice along the way. Feels good to have a roll done haha
