Interesting thing is the Pentax Espio 24EW defaults to ISO 25 for non DX film. So I tapped off the DX code on that 35 yr old TriX so it shot at 25.
Looks really good at iso 25! Shot in the pano mode which isn't a gimmick IMO as it makes you commit to that composition. Instead of saying you can crop later when you figure it out...

Great capture. I like the lines on this.
Thanks! I'm kinda surprised at the CV 15 4.5. Mine is the v1 and I expected it to be better on film. It's a bit smeary on the edges, even at f8. Images still are very pleasing - it has an excellent render as the kids say - but it's not a technically 'perfect' lens.

A couple random first two shots of the roll. Trying not to burn the first of the roll with a picture of the floor now haha. MP + Portra 400
When the archivist started cataloging Garry Winogrand's photos they wondered about all of the exposures of this feet and legs until someone showed them how to load a Leica M.
Apparently, you're loading the camera correctly but it's ok to advance the film at least one full stroke.
The Christmas pictures were great!

This whole series - not just the ones above - are so good. And it really shows you how the image is so much more important than sharpness, 'perfect' colour/contrast, DR etc

Thanks! I like 'em although it's all a bit schizophrenic as I'm waiting for my first medium-format photos to come back from the lab and those will be kind of the polar opposite of these. I like it all...low-res, high-res, whatever.
What I like about the Polaroid Instant Lab printer is that I can get everything right before firing off a Polaroid, unlike with a real Polaroid camera. On the one hand that eliminates one of the most enjoyable aspects of Polaroid (its unpredictability) but it saves a lot of money as Polaroid film runs about $2 (Canadian) per photo. I did have a few failures, mainly underexposures, but not as many as if I'd been shooting direct to Polaroid. And there's still an element of surprise because all of these Polaroids look quite different from the original photos.
