A few more from my recent film outings.
These are scenes near home.
Pentax 6x7, shot on Acros & developed in Ilford Ilfosol 3.
Not sure I like this developer or its just expired (?) as the results were flat & hard to get contrast.
What may be the issue is the yellow filter I used in the second shot.
Will have to experiment some.
I have shot Acros before, using Rodinol & had much better results.
Jon, & others
Now I see were the bad influence on me is coming from
When I first started posting here regularly, all I had was a 4x5.
Now I have the Pentax & a couple of 35mm. and I'm eying things like a Mamiya 7 or a Fuji FG670.
Peter,
BTW, wanted to thank you again for the work on the GC transparency.
I ended up essentially blending two of the files which seemed to match what I wanted.
More importantly, when my wife saw a test print,she said,
"can we print it big for the living room, it goes with the new couch and the walls,..."
Now when I get back from Yosemite with some Dogwood shots, she inquires for more.
So you see, now I have her hooked if I don't abuse the opportunity !!

No problem. That was fun, especially to see how different the interpretations can be from the same piece of film. Hell, I just bought a new amp for my musician gf. It could have been the 11-24 Canon. Same price. And I may have to buy the lens for an upcoming job anyway. It's all just stuff that costs just money.
OK, last one from the B&W dev
Pentax 6x7, 55mm, Acros in Ilfosol 3
Probably the only one in the Acros roll I got the exposure right....
Taken a little late in the day, too breezy!
5x7 prints shot on my GA645 (Reala 100)...I still don't gravitate to colour negative film, apart from Portra 160 that blew me away.
RVP50 shot on my GW690 Mk 1
RVP50 shot on my P645N with 45, 75 and 200 manual lenses.
There's still a big thrill when you receive your shots back, more than with digital in most cases.
iPhone5 pics of the slides...will upload some when scanned, if they pass muster.
These will all appear dark as I have simply held up the sheet to a window, on a grey morning here in late autumn (fall).

David,
Looks like you have some nice transparencies there!
Can't wait til you post them.
I am waiting for a batch too & hopefully will have the scanned early next week.
