You live in a truly unique place. I very much enjoy seeing your pictures of Budapest.

Great image quality, Nikkor 20mm looks great on provia.

As usual great location.

The combo is perfect and scanning process too. Make sence to spend some money for the scanner.

Great shots. I think I have to get me one of those 20mm Nikkors for my collection.

Can you tell me where #3 is located. I stayed in your city for 5 weeks about 3 years ago and did recognize all the other place but with pic 3 there is no bell ringing.

Attila, your pictures with the Nikkor 20/2.8 AIS look much better than whatever I photographed with the AF-D version of this lense. I finally sold it and don't look back. Nice pictures with great colours.

Thank you ! I like too better older series Nikon and I think Provia 100 did help a lot.

One of the sharpest looking set of 35mm shots from you......I would note the combo down for future reference for shots of buildings i.e. Nikon 20mm + Provia 100 + V500

Yes, this is my opinion too, this is my best combo and I made a very simple trick Wink I did iron strips with heavy books before scan + first time I use tiff for scanning...

I really meant the statues of picture five.

Is this working for you. I tried something similar with old negatives from my father whithout any noticeable results (O.K. they were rolled up for about 40 years). I would really like to scan some of those but I am struggling to get them into the holder.
Has anyone a hint how to straighten the negatives.

That is hard , perhaps if you put into some kind of liquid what people use at end of development process and left in 24 hrs it will be elastic again and after dry and cuts you can get straight stripes.

Those are magnificant as well ... Must be a great lens to have in possession.

Try this theory with a less important one or a piece and see.

I think that Orio once mentioned anti-Newton glass as a good way to
flatten the strips.

Regarding the images...WOW! Not only the lens and film did well, but so did
the scanner on 35mm! These are magnificent representations of the
city of Budapest. Well controlled, and beautifully composed, Attila.
