Thanks for the comments, both shots were taken at an interval of no more then 45 minutes but the light was constantly changing that afternoon. I scanned my negs using an HP Scanjet G4050 at 2400 dpi and other then removing some of the largest dust particle I did not do any PP and used the file right from the scanner. Going back to B&W MF is a lot of fun.

I finally took the jump and got myself a nice Pentax 67 with 3 lenses, the 75, 90 and 200. Here are pictures from my first few rolls. Since I have no light meter at this time I used the Sunny 16 rule and guessed the exposure.

Hi Gabriele,
Just like many people I decided to go back to film and the main thing I did observe is that it just slow me down taking pictures which is a good thing. I have been dreaming to go MF since the longest time after all my first camera ( plastic Diana) in 1967 was a MF. So last February I took the plunge and decide to acquire a 645N. The 645N is a very nice camera to handle and perfect for street shooting, it is not too big not too heavy and hold very well in my hands. I did buy my 645N on Ebay from a reputable seller from Japan from which I bought 2 lenses since. The photo equipment found on Ebay from Japan is for the most part of very good quality , I could not get anything on the local market ( Montreal) of equal quality for the price .
Good Luck !

Hi, my name is Paul and I have been enjoying photography since I was 11 year old when I was taking picture with my Diana plastic camera back in 1967 at the Montreal EXPO67. I got my first 35 mm camera at age 14 ,it was an Exacta 500 NOS which I paid 60$ with my own money I made doing small jobs. 2 years later after working all summer I got myself the camera of my dreams...it was a Pentax Spotmatic II which I paid 260$ tax included . I think that the Pentax of that era were “work of art” the design was just perfect nothing to add nothing to subtract. Ever since I have been addicted to Pentax exception made for my first digital camera back in 2000 a Canon Powershot Pro 70. My first Pentax digital was an istDL which I have replace since 2011 by a K5 that I really enjoy. I recently acquired a Pentax Q and I am amazed of what this small camera got to offer. I never been attracted by the “Dark Side “ even if all my friend and family are shooting with Nikon … The Nikon’s I would be interested in .. Well I could not simply afford them .. I have been a fan of this site and especially the Forum at least since 2006, but I guess I have been one of those “lurkers” watching all the good work done by others. There is so much knowledge shared on this forum it is just amazing. I usually find answers on my questions just by exploring the different post.Again Hello to everyone !
