The usual CLEAN image from the Electro! Added to that, the composition is interesting and the grey tonal values are splendid! Did you develop yourself? _________________

Thanks, I sure did develop this myself... I was somewhat disappointed that I didn't get to adjust the times in order to shoot at ASA800
My tale of two Electros - the better one, with the better viewfinder patch and prettier outside, is brain dead. The one I use, works _________________ -Jussi

Thanks - I looked through some of your flickr work, it's good. I see you use the Electro 35 very effectively indeed
Th 35 is a really good cam, about the only things I'd change - 1) some provision for exposure comp 2) either smaller or have the back bulge out like the TL Electro X SLR - that bulge you wouldn't think was a big deal, but it makes the camera much easier to hold.
I'm wondering about my first developing/scanning efforts, it's like maybe I'm doing too much gray and too little black? _________________ -Jussi

Very nice, Nesster! Is there a switch on the camera that converts it to 6x7
format? Nice focused, contrasty image, excellent! |

I think the black is about right. Looking in the wheel well of the car, and in the dark window in the building in the background, the blacks look pretty deep. _________________

You can always use the ISO wheel to compensate the exposure
I think you got the tones right. As Laurence said, you got deep blacks where they were supposed to be, and everything else is well balanced. _________________ http://www.flickr.com/photos/franciscogomes |

Thanks, I've realized that I've forgotten what camera/lens I've used for a particular roll waiting for development... as I'm now paying more attention to film and developer
The GSN held another surprise for me, as I hadn't used it since I got the Nikon FE - the film advance is just about as smoothly ratcheted on the GSN as it is on the Nikon. _________________ -Jussi

He was just taking a nap - this particular block has nothing on it - across the street is a vast empty lot under construction of some sort, there are two parking lots on this side, and in the distance there you see a row of apartment buildings. I haven't a clue what the little slow guy is there for. _________________ -Jussi
