Nicely done Martin. 2, 4 and 6 are my faves. Number two is stunning, you did well bagging that unknown at the time Ensinor!

Excellent photography - I like Foma 100 a lot, it's like Neopan with balls Wink

no. 2 is my favorite. did all that shooting make you tired? Cool

and what, pray tell, is FOMA (which is like neopan with balls; good one, nesster)?

the super tak seemed to bring out more range, detail. am i crazy?

Thanks for all the comments.

Yes, the Ensinor and the Tak at the same focal lengths have to compete with each other. On APS-C I prefer the Ensinor, but looking at the shots here, the Tak has the upper hand, but this is down to the lighting and red+cpl filters helping it.

Fish - Fomapan is the film I used. A google search will tell you more than I can.

Jussi - Neopan with balls? lol!

interesting. it is available here via the 'net. alas, i do not process. but i told my wife last night i might have to obtain the basics just to see if my digits can handle the reels in the dark. of course, i COULD teach her to process. she is multitalented, and a multitasker ...

The only difficult bit is getting the film on the reel - and if you get a Paterson or better yet one with the large feed tabs, that's pretty easy.

no one got my pun? Shocked

Geez, pretty high yield out of just one roll! Shocked

2,4, and 6 are my faves, but a grand set in all! Nice contrasty images.

Paul, I think most of us got the pun, we just decided to ignore it. I take
an anti-pun pill every morning to keep the above at a minimum. Laughing

Thanks Simon - Yes home developed.

I could have done with your input on this one as I shot it at 80iso and couldn't find the dev time.

You've done more thatn good here Martin. Dev chart gives a time of 7 minutes for 100 iso sensivity, and as i can see your pix have very good contrast with my lon,ger view on your images. Half a minute under dev seems correct , but is always a matter of tests. And taste Wink

Anyway great work, hope you print some of those
