A few more from the recently repaired Retina test. There are two things I like about the camera, other than how compact it is, first is the fabulous Schneider 50 2.0 lens and the other is being able to sqeeze 40 exposures on a roll.
Multnomah Village, Retina IIa, HP-5+, Adox XT-3 1:1

Thats a good series of showing how the fires can be both devastating and random.
All the steel/concrete houses survived. But with the others there would be random pockets where a cluster of homes looked unscathed while everything around them was gone.

Thanks! Cinestill DF96 Monobath. It is important to note that I shot the film at ISO 50 not 100, as I have found the for some reason Foma films are half the speed it says on the box!
Foma films are gorgeous - they give that luscious deep blacks film noir look.
Cool, thanks! Yes, I always shoot Foma films at or near half box speed: Foma 100 at 50, Foma 200 at 125, and Foma 400 at 200. I've been developing them all in Rodinal, semi-stand, although I might try something different with Foma 400 next time as the results were a bit too grainy in 35mm even for me (as someone who likes grain in B&W photos).
@Desmolicious Your photos of Malibu are heartbreaking. I have purposely visited Malibu three times over the last decade because I love the area so much. Most recently I took my son along and we hiked in Malibu Creek State Park which is one of my most favorite places I've ever had the privilege of visiting. I hope your bother is doing OK and he is coping well with the aftermath and recovery.

That Distagon is a nice but being a big, for a M mount lens, it's understandable of why you only use it occasionally.
Honestly, yeah, it's big. But, once it's on the camera and your walking around, you don't really notice it. You don't need a hood with it (it's one of the most flare resistant lenses I own,), so it's only marginally larger than the Summilux ASPH w/hood.

Thank you, I appreciate it. He was one of the lucky ones.
Just got my scans back for 11 rolls, 10 of which were from my recent Japan trip. I couldn't really remember what was on the first roll, but I am pretty stoked with how this one turned out.
Trees and other tall things.
Canon P, Voigtländer 25/4 Snapshot Skopar LTM with red filter, Rollei Retro 400s. I developed this roll in Ilford DD-X, an expensive developer that I bought mainly for use with Ilford Delta P3200 (since this developer is recommended if you want to shoot that film at ISO 3200), but I figured I'd try it with Rollei Retro after reading some reports that it does a nice job.

Better shutter button experience than the Yashica T5, will try a color roll later on to see how is the lens performance.
I love that camera, always found the shutter button very "mushy" though..
..also a word of advice - be gentle with that on/off switch, it's quite fragile!
Lens performance is top notch in my opinion, one of the very best 35mm point and shoots out there.
Flash / metering is also really good 👍

I'm okay with the shutter button.
Compare to all the P&S cameras I have, I would say L35AF's shutter is above average.
At least I like it more than T5, lol.
