Interesting... same lens? The fact that the spots tend to move around a bit may have a correlation to whatever aperture you use?
At any rate... welcome newcomers to the thread!
Different lens too. Kind of odd. Bummer, too, about Efke. I have wanted to try their 25 speed film for a while. And I have really wanted to get into IR. From the comparisons I've seen the Rollei IR is not nearly as good.

Ah, ok, well good luck with solving it...it is a strange one. Thanks for the feedback on the photos. I stockpiled HIE before Kodak stopped making it and am very slowly working my way through what I've got left in my freezer. I'll miss it when it's all used up. Great film. The Efke IR820 is great too but VERY slow. Cheers.
Do you rate it around iso 3?
That Fuji film looks really nice. I just scanned four images for a friend from Kodak T-Max400 C41 and the prints were remarkably rich and full. I was actually surprised at just how beautiful that film is. The prints were 16x24 and scanned at 4000 ppi.
Here are a couple of film shots that I like. First is an old Fiat that's been half buried off a cliff in Topanga State Park for at least the last thirty years. Probably stolen and not worth the effort to get it out. Mamiya 7, T-Max100.
Second is a bridge shot in Oregon on a road trip a long time ago. Probably Plus-X but shot on an old Brooks Veriwide 100 with that beautiful Schneider 47mm Super Angulon. 2-1/4x3-5/8 format. Should never have sold that camera.
And lastly for tonight, a shot while on a bicycle trip. Two tourists at the northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge. Must have been pretty close because I remember that it was shot with a Nikon 24mm and Kodachrome 64.
I'm so glad to have had such a positive impact on this Friday evening. I've always referred to this image as "The Woman with no Head and the Woman with two Butts"

Thank you very much you two. These scans were done by the processing lab and I think they were done on a Kodak iQSmart 3.
The scan looks wonderful. May I ask are there many place still sell film in China? How much for Fuji pro160 and Acros? I wonder should I bring my M3 with me to China Trip.

It's a lot more ass than I was expecting when reading the opening commentary!

Thank you for the kind words. I only have film experience in Shanghai and there is a camera mall here that has 4 or 5 film shops. I always stock up there. You can find film outside of camera stores, but it is scarce. I shoot 120 film so need to find special stores. I have not been able to find any Fuji color film except Reala. I want to try 400H but have not found it yet.
My wife usually pays for the film after I load up on it. I cant really give you an accurate cost. $4-5 a roll maybe. Porta 400 is $6 a roll I think.
I assume you will start your China trip in either Shanghai or Beijing. You can certainly load up on all your film needs there and be fine. There are a lot of film shooters, but they are spread out amongst all the digital people.

Classic wide angle shot.
