Hello ladies and gents

So i ran across my S2 the 10 views left, switching the roll that was inside the 159 ( ahh manual rewinding, i hear you ! )

The camera meters great, i've done some low light shots, all's fine. All taken with 1.4/50 Planar, film is Ilford Pan 400 and developed in Ilfosol 3 for 7.15


a friend of the photo club were in, notice the camera AND the lens Very Happy





those ones were taken wide open @ 1/30 or 1/15. the camera handles also great, i though there would be a shake cause the mirror return is quite ... loud.

Excellent results, Hexi, film and dev look like a perfect marriage!

Congrats on the new (and working) camera!

Thank you Bill and Tony.

By now i come to very regular results in terms of developing, keeping the same developer and films, then adjusting times a bit. Prints are the final aim Very Happy
