I've always followed Ilford's recommendation for XP2 400 and had it processed by my lab in C-41. But I'd read that it also works well in conventional B&W developers, and I saw some nice results using Rodinal, semi-stand. That's my favourite way to develop film (albeit usually films slower than ISO 400), so I gave it a try. Looks good to me! Shot with my little Ricoh FF-1 zone-focus camera.
Now that I am finally retired from teaching and the DoD, I am in the process of getting my B & W darkroom (developing and printing) back into operation, handling up to 4x5 films and 20x24 wet prints.
The photos are of one my young nephews and his GF at a family cookout. Shot with a Canon P RF with Canon 85mm f1.9 @ f2, on Foma 200, souped in Legacy HC-110 (Dil. H). Scanned with Canoscan FS-4000, running on a SCSI interface, controlled by VueScan. No meter used, just a gut feel for the light...

No-one ever invites me for a photo walk. They are always busy with some lame excuse like ‘I gotta wash my hair’.
I even get that from the bald doods.
That because you walk too far. Plus they have to bring snacks for you and the dogs.

retired from being U prof, aside from the pesky medical I find my photography and my fly fishing fills my time and photography is infinitely expandable....... lots to photograph lots of gear to buy and use and incrementally improve, dive in the water is just fine.

Welcome and it's always fun to see new images! Enjoy retirement and as I like to say, "Every day is Saturday!"
I've only shot with a 35mm lens on my M3 a couple of times...Are you using an accessory viewfinder or just using the entire viewfinder frame to compose?

This is my first time trying. I'm using a cheap 28/35 viewfinder that I got from KEKS. It's really very cheaply build and made but I think I can live with it. Fits in the hot shoe but I used a velcro adhesive since I have the KEKS M-meter in the hot shoe. The solution is not perfect but I can live with it. A few more with the same combo.
Leica M3 + Zeiss Distagon 35/1.4
Kodak XX + HC-110
