Shots from last month...while still experimenting using my current lens line up on my N80. The following shots were taken with the Tamron 45 f1.8 vc and Tokina 11-20 f2.8.
A couple of recent night shots. Both shot with a Nikon F6 and Nikkor 50/2 Ai, Ilford Delta 3200 developed in Microphen (1+0) at 20° C for 9 minutes & scanned with an Epson v850.
Amazing work with the F6, FM3a and FM2/T with various Nikkors, as well as the development! Delta 3200 must be challenging to develop. I send my film to a lab, but have not always been satisfied with what I get back. Of course that might have been my own poor exposure.

I develop B&W film in my laundry room, and yes, Delta 3200 is a challenge. The first couple of rolls I developed were really bad. I think I agitated the film too much and I didn't have the fixer at the proper strength (I misunderstood the mixing instructions). Another couple of things I learned through experience is that it's better to fix the film about twice as long as suggested, and Delta 3200 is much better at 1600. Thanks for the comment!
Had a roll of film loaded in my Nikon F65 for almost 4 years, and finally finished it off in November. This one was taken with a Nikkor 24-70 2.8 D, Fuji Velvia 50, and scanned with my Nikon Coolscan 5000 using Vuescan. There was some color shift, but i like the results.
