All taken with a Bronica SQ-a + Zenzanon PS 80mm f/2.8
The film used is a Shanghai GP3 (crappy cheap chinese film).
This one is quite abstract, but I like the geometry in it:

The negatives are very fragile, and it has light leaks on the edges. The quality control is very bad. It doesn't show in these pictures, but it is really a cheap chinese film

Thank you
Yes I do, and I also have a Fender Jazzmaster.

Thanks for that - I had some lined up.
Better going back to my first choice - Foma, I think.

Either that or Fuji Neopan Acros 100. They're equally cheap (especially if you buy them in www.fujilab.co.uk), but they're much better in terms of quality

Nice shots.
I've almost used up the first batch of 20 rolls of 120 GP3 I bought last summer. I find that it's OK (and certainly delivers enough considering the price).
The main drawback IMHO is the poor print on the back of the backing paper, it's so faint that it's difficult to read in a camera equipped with a red window. Fomapan 100 can be had from some e-shops for almost the same price and Foma's quality control is much better and with visible frame numbers (they're also white on black but with a much print compared with Shanghai's "faint grey on black"). GP3 is fine for cameras with automatic winding.
A minor drawback the damned curling of the negatives, sometimes I imagine it wants to curl back to China
