The digital print is really well done also. I mean, they pop on my screen as few other BW. |

i notice that many times you set the camera below the iso setting of the film: here you shot 400 film at 320. could you tell me why you do that and if, when you develop the film, you have to tell the developer that you shot it that way.
thanks

Negative film likes slight overexposure, far more than underexposure. So you can shoot at ASA320 without the need to pull during processing.

The Kodak CN400BW (which is one of my fav films) shows increased contrast when slightly overexposed (at least to my experience).
These are great shots. Thanks for sharing.

I would rather say they look like high contrast.
In my first reply, I overlooked that the film is Kodak BW400CN. While officially rated as an ASA 400 film, I prefer to use it as an ASA 200 film. At 400 or higher, the "grain" (actually dye clouds) get rather ugly.
Shot at ASA 200, it is a great film, in my opinion.

These chromogenic BW films have a very wide exposure latitude. Setting a high ISO (or under exposing them) gives contrasty and more grainy images, setting a low ISO (or over exposing them) gives finer grain but flatter contrast images. Of course, the contrast can be boosted either in software or by the choice of paper at the printing stage.
I admit I use this as my 'lazy man' film when I am forcing myself out of my comfort zone and trying to take quick 'street' shots. When I am taking photos I have time to meter properly and fuss over, I use Delta 100. It is also useful when using an older camera if you don't have 100% faith in the metering or the accuracy of the shutter speed. It is a very forgiving film. I am trying a roll of 120 through my Lubitel at the moment. I shot a roll of Velvia 50 through the Lubi (a very unforgiving film!) and they are all about a stop or a stop and a half under-exposed.  They were all very carefully metered using my handheld meter too. They should scan OK though.

That is my favourite too. Perversely, the Pentax Photo Gallery accepted the other three but not that one!
Best wishes, Kris.

I do like those Kris.
Must try 320 the next time that I use 400cn. I mostley use XP2 or APXS.
I have started to set for overexposure with Superia XTRA and it gives much better results.
That`s a nice lens too.
I`ve been debating whether to get a 135 for my Pentax ME.
Looks like you`ve decided it for me
