Haven't posted in a while, but have been shooting a BUNCH of film. Playing with my new M6(!!!) as well as a Zeiss Ikon ZM on loan to me from a very kindly form member here.

I really like these two images. I don’t get as nice of results as you with the same film and developer.
Thank you I will give some of the credit to the summitar. Though it is from 1952 (or earlier) it is virtually brand new. It came with a iiif I purchased. The original buyer passed and it went to his son in law whom I purchased it from. Came with box, paperwork, etc. Looked like it may have been used a hand full of times at most. The lens has zero defects, is flawless and renders so beautifully. I am also a sucker for d76 which is my preferred developer. The pakon is a nice scanner as well, does a great job for me.

I also use D76 and scan on a Nikon 5000ED. I don’t get as nice of grain as you do. I suspect it’s the water that the campus uses...very hard. They only use filtered water with fix and the rinse with PhotoFlo. What I want to try at home is Rodinal. I have really liked some of the shots I have seen with stand dev.
Got my test roll back from my new-old-stock Chinon Bellami. And quite frankly the lens on this lump has shocked me. So much so I went back onto ebay and bought a spare before people read this, news gets out and the prices sky rocket!

Very cool, never heard of this camera before! Smart idea to buy something before an internet hype starts setting in. This happened quite often in recent times with film cameras - one good example is the Hasselblad XPan camera which goes now for an outrageous amount of money after several people issued YouTube videos promoting it.
