Good captures. The tones look great. I have to get some Foma and see if I can get results like this.

Hey thanx folx.
I like my RX pretty much so far, its my 1st roll actually with it. easy to use, i just need a 135mm to match.
Martin try the Foma you won't be disseapointed ! Even in low light conditions it performs fine. I think as well that i found the good method for developing ( 1+50 with Rodinal ).
those pix could had a better rendition, it was full sun ( shot in the afternoon ) and i had to hide in the shadow like a sniper  nevermind, 'ill BE BACK

Up for this thread instead of creating a new one. Same roll of Foma, except the lens is a Yashica ML 1.7/50mm. Very good lens, to be honest i have difficulties to see the difference with the 50mm Planar.
Both taken @f4

Thanx trifox. The RX light meter is just amazing. I used center weighted metering for all those. And Foma film is great !
I can't wait to do prints, next year

Nice series. Good tonality and contrast (not to mention sharpness).

If there is really any in practice. Sometimes we are so concerned about the brand to forget about the picture itself, aren't we? If both looks good why bother?
This post made me remember that I just happen to have 1 roll of Fomapan 100 in 120 waiting in my cupboard since a while. Maybe this weekend...
Cheers, Marty.
