Thanks Tom, that xa4 is quickly becoming my favorite little pocket point and shoot. The scale focus is a breeze on 28mm and the lens is better than the one on the xa (35mm). By the way, that Buddha shot with 400h is very nice!
Thanks. That was from my very first roll of film shot with my then new Fujifilm GF670W. I was so worried that I would not like the results from that camera. After spending nearly $2500 for it that was a big worry. Thankfully, I love the images it makes and will never sell this camera!
Minolta CLE with Zeiss Biogon C 35/2.8 - Ektar 100 - Scanned with a Coolscan 9000 / Vuescan
The Minolta rangefinder is my favorite 35mm camera at the moment - small, light and with a fantastic viewfinder/rangefinder.
I am now using a separate bleach / fix when developing instead of Blix and the difference in the consistency of color in particular blue skies is significant. I used the developer from the Tetenal Kit here as it was still working well and the bleach/fix from the Fuji Hunt Kit.
Scanned this one today. Brian Duckworth's fiddle case in the middle of the Black Rock Desert long before there was a Burning Man. Well, if there was, no one had heard of it. Now, that's how you sticker up your instrument case. Had a Balcar 2400 w/s power pack on a generator with a warming gel at dusk.
Yes, I guess RDP II is indeed Provia. I did not remember that. I shot a LOT on that. And yes, RZ - either the 50 or 65. Here's another Provia, but in 35mm.
Wow - exceptional images on this page (I have to backtrack a number of pages tomorrow - it's late here in Australia).
This one is a work in progress.
Provia shot on a Konica Hexar RF and unfortunately I don't remember the lens used, possibly it's the ZM25 f2.8.
Commercial E-6 development and then homescanned (using Vuescan) on a Minolta Scan Dual IV into a DNG, then minor LR edits and a lot of spotting since the slides have a lot of cr*p on the edges. Some more images to follow.
The file was 3-step resized using variation on a script obtained off FM from Samuli Verhonen's work originally.
Played with a fairly rare Braun Paxina 29 the last weeks. It's a simple camera equipped with an unusual fast lens.

exposure unrecorded, film was expired Efke R50, dipped in Rodinal 1+50, printed like all other pictures on old stock MG IV RC
Managed to print my fingertip onto this shot too ;-(
a closer shot with the "Praxar 1:2:9/75mm"-lens wide open or close to it's full aperture:

distance guessimated (the Braun isn't equipped with a rangefinder), Rollei RPX100 in Xtol 1+1
The rendering of the Praxar-lens at fairly close range surprised me a bit. In a positive way.
At infinity and at full aperture the sharpness is really bad.

Couple of images from my recent trip out to Taos NM. Was hoping to see some snow on the mountains but, thanks to winter storm Vexo, I got more than I bargained for.
