Perhaps, I just need a little more patience when including the sprocket holes. Takes a lot more work and perhaps I'll find a good workflow. These are better than what I first got after NLP conversion. Has anyone else scanned to include sprocket holes and if so, any tips to share?

I've scanned sprocket hole panos from my Pentax 67, but I have a 35mm mask for them (I also stitched). The NLP conversion will be better if you exclude the sprocket holes from the image analysis, i.e. more 'Border Buffer' in the Convert settings.

I had intermittent issues with film flatness near the edges and I never liked the edge barcode that most films have. Arista EDU Ultra 400 and Kentmere Pan 400 were a couple that didn't have the barcode, so I gravitated to those.

These days I much prefer the X-Pan mask for my P67. I haven't tried using the 35mm adapters on my GSW690II.

I will certainly give that a try, thanks!

Yup, that's the trick. 10% Border Buffer in NLP gives a much better result. Thank you @OregonSun

That's the sharpest lens I own. (I've only used it on a Canon 5Div.)

I'm not super happy with how everything came out, but will chalk it up to 1st roll learning/growing pains! I converted the negatives by opening the RAW scan in Photoshop, invert using the inverted curve slider method, crop and hit "Auto Levels". Teeny bit of dust removal, but there wasn't much. That's it. (I wanted to show the images with no extra PP.)

My main question is why I'm getting a "reversed" vignette??

I get that reverse vignette if my negs are too thin i.e. underexposed a scene significantly.

I also have the 28, 2.8. It has a fair amount of vignetting, but it's a bit sharper than the Nikon 28, 2.8 in the corners.

Yeah. That makes sense. The negatives were pretty thin. I think maybe shooting 100 ASA is too slow for the Holga, even in fairly bright sun. Seems like you shoot 200 with the 'Olga. Might need to try a faster film.

The missed focus is because, well, sometimes I forgot to set focus. I mean, you gotta take the lens cap off. Choose sunny or cloudy exposure. Set a focus guesstimate. Frame through a finder that is no better than a coke bottle. Gently push the shutter. Then remember to wind to the next frame... So much to think about!!! haha

My recent b&w shots from the ‘Olga were on Arista 200 which is basically an iso 100 film. So with it unless the sun is blazing I use the f8 setting.
Do you think that perhaps you may have underdeveloped the film? DF96 is all about the right temp/time combo.

Df96 temp was right around 70º and I used the minimal inversion method for 12 minutes (6min x 2 for TMax).

There was still a slight purple hue to the negatives, so that def could be it!

Doubling the developing time for TMax may have something to do with it. I'll add another minute or two next time.

Why am I shooting film again?
