If anyone is interested, I will be putting up my 6x17 film camera for sale next weekend. It is an Art Panoramic 6x17 and it works great. A lot of fun too!

That's waaaaaaay more saturated in color than any NPS 160 I've ever shot!
That's the coating on the Lomo lens for you. When I first saw it I was shocked! I didn't play with it in LR, did not touch saturation or vibrance etc. It really concentrates blues and reds (to a lesser extent). The lens vignette adds to that - the edges of the image are 1-2 stops darker than the center.
I think I already posted this, but another example of it doing that:
I am really surprised by and love this camera, as nothing else that I have used has such a stand out look (for better or worse!)
Interested on trying the Lomo LC-A 120.. hopefully I can get one by the end of the year. would like to see if I can use 35mm film on it.
The Pentax-M 135mm 3.5 finally arrived from Japan, I quickly loaded it on my Pentax MX and went to give it a try. I used some very old Konica Centuria 200 and at first I though it was a scanning issue but I'm getting some of the weirdest colors I've ever gotten.
I've been on a tear scanning images from my high school yearbook and newspaper from 45 years ago and came across two glassine sleeves with no proof sheets simply marked John Lee Hooker. The negs were VERY thin but drum scanning helped pull out as much as was there. I remember seeing him play at Mission Ranch (then owned by Clint Eastwood) in Carmel on more than one occasion back in the late 70's, so this is over forty years old at this point. Boogie Chillin'...One Scotch One Bourbon One Beer... Tri-X, of course.
