Image taken around town last few days with various cameras ... I have been recently using Grain2Pixel plugin to do the negative to positive conversion and I am liking the results.
I have not used my M6 as much as I should have but I don’t regret the purchase, love it as much or more than my Nikon Fm3a. Trying to get back more to film.
Roll 182: GF670W + Tech Pan. Developed in Rodinal (10 + 950 mL) for 10 minutes using a Simma roller. A test roll gave me ISO12 with a contrast index (gamma?) of 1. I only have 25 rolls of this stuff, so rather than waste film trying to tame the contrast, I instead did a roll of actual subjects to see if the high contrast is an actual issue when scanning with a V850. You be the judge.
I am not the biggest fan of what is happening around the sprockets, but I left them uncropped in some of the shots as a caution/advertisement to others.

PSA to anyone struggling to find an external rangefinder for your camera: Assuming both your eyes are working fine, you can build your own rangefinder using using the idea discussed here in Post 4. You can make a ready to print pdf using this automated tool.
Pentax 645 with the smc Pentax-A 45mm f2.8 - Eastman 5222-xx shot at 500 iso developed in Xtol dilute 1:1 for 11.5 minutes at 75 degrees F. Gentle intermittent agitation. I'm getting familiar with the Pentax, and I love XX. I have shots from 1973 using a Bronica S on "Kodak Safety Film" that look identical. Pretty sure it is the same film....
Same film and development. Nikon N90S - the tank just barely holds 2-120s & one 35mm
