Wow Panos. Number 2 is cool, but number 5 is amazing. What's the story there?
The "paper" planes are suspended on very thin wires and are not really paper, some kind of plastic or plasticised paper thing. They have poems on them.

I don't think it's heresy - just a little surprising considering some of the advantages of "native" B&W films (never thought I'd ever have to make the distinction). Options abound at ISO 400, though I do like Portra 400 too...especially in color!
My problem with real B&W is that while I do love them (used to develop/print myself) I don't have the space or time anymore to do it myself and getting it done in a lab is always a substandard experience!
Keep it up, phillip ino, my next big MF excursion is in a few weeks. I guess I'll post from my backlog. Some of these may have appeared in the film thread as well.
With all the better films out there for colorful nature, I keep coming back to Portra 160 VC. I have something like 15 rolls left. I guess I should conserve.

Well, I am fairly new to the world of film and in the year that I've gotten to know the medium, my b&w films have been HP5 and Efke. I tried out TMY(new emulsion) and just wasn't liking the results as much. Could have been user error, though. So, I've decided to try out the Trix and I've got some Rodinal on the way
I had issues with my new Leaf back at first but they now seem to be resolved after the latest firmware update, so I took it out for a test drive today:
All shot on 80mm and 110mm lenses, hand held.
I'm pretty impressed with the image quality. Here's a 100% crop from the third image:
It was nearly 40˚C today, so that's about as noisy as it will get at iso 50.

Drool. Great tonality in these. What camera is your friend using?
I believe it was a Hasselblad HD4-60, but I'll have to ask. There were about 20 of us in the group, but this chap (whom I had not met previously) made a great subject, being the only one there in traditional arab dress and also being the only other medium format user. I found the contrast between traditional and high-tech amusing
