Took my trusty K10D for a spin today - with one of y favoured lenses, the FA 35mm F2.0 AL - loving this combo. Here are two BW conversions.. not too shabby for nearly 10 years old dslr huh ? ;)

Just got around to scan some of the shots from my second roll shot recently with Spotmatic F.. HP5 Plus (ISO 400) this time. Here are some that I liked the most. Most with 50mm , apart from skate-park with S-M-C Takumar 35mm , and my wife's portrait with S-M-C Takumar 105mm

Thank you for the kind words.. I agree that 35mm lens is punching way above its weight !
Thank you!
Excellent BW conversions guys - nice, rich blacks there !

Thank you for your appreciation ! I think I'd agree I am most pleased with these two shots mentioned. Here are few more ready from the same Kodak TMax 400 roll. First two with 35mm S-M-C f3.5 lens, then 50mm 1.4 then 105mm f2.8 and then 50mm again. Just to explain the bird - yeah it was floating like this, dead with eye open. It looked like it was alive !

Very interesting muted tonality - I usually avoid this look but looks like I am missing out !

Meet Paul, one of the protesters standing outside of the Marie Stopes International clinic in Buckhurst Hill, England. They were praying and demonstrating against the abortions that are performed there every day. A very kind man, genuinely concerned with the deaths of thousands of unborn babies being killed every year in the UK. Later the same day they took part in an anti-abortion '500 crosses for Life' prayer procession which started at Westminster Cathedral and ended outside Westminster Abbey, London
Shot with Olympus 35RC and Ilford FP4 125 Plus

Looks much better - now I can see little bit of haziness in the air - whole image looks much more natural and pleasing to my eyes. Well done !

Very nice indeed - good conversion to BW. I dislike the amount of sharpening added - it looks especially crude on the second photo - the circular pattern around the vehicles is really distracting.

I don't even want to go there - B&W lovers will ban us :P
Just to keep it on topic - here is one snap I got some time ago K-01 paired with Macro Takumar 50mm.. Yes - macro because the snail was size of max 5mm long and the water drops here are actually just mist magnified close to half life
and another one - x linked from post photos thread , at about 1:1
