The way this lens renders the skin is fantastic. I rarely saw better lens for portraits.
At the same time, the bokeh highlights are on the ugly side (at least for my taste).
For this reason, I love #1, while #2 and #3 suffer from eye-catching bokeh in my opinion.
I would crop the second image to be head-only. That would be a great head shot.

I foun this bokeh very attractive and dynamic, but it depends from bacground objects, in these pictures in background is dark leafs and overexposed sky Smile

Fine compositions. The bright lens plus the pan 50 ( which is quite detailed film ) is perfect for this kind of shots, and architecture as well. The b&w is great too, if it's home developed congrats : )

ThankS!
I don`t know why, but these shot are little too grainy for ISO 50, maybe some mistake in developing..

I think that it depends on your grain taste. My scans of this film looks nice grainy. Not too much but not less grainy as Delta 100 could say. I belive there is difference in layers of film.

Actually I like this type of grain. Not really visible, but slightly diffusing tones, that's good for portrait.

Development makes a world of difference for grain. A slow film may even end being grainier than a faster film due to development.

Would like to see it, but I know it's impossible. I tried to scan my own prints, but they lose most if not all of the magic in the scanning process. Sad

I had a portrait done with a 100 iso film, a Fomapan, and under the enlarger the grain was quite visible, i just wait to enlarge a pushed film ^^

by the way my fav is the first , just for the expression
