Nice to see that your M5 is working nicely after a visit to Zacks. I still haven't sent mine in (I put some gaffer tape around a suspected leak on the front of the camera around the lens mount and haven't seen more any leaks so far), but I saw on RFF that DAG no longer wants to service M5 anymore: https://www.dagcamera.com/store/p440/I_no_longer_repair_M5_Cameras.html

Wow, that link is sad. It's like he's thrown in the towel with the M5.
Upside - Zacks did an awesome job on mine. DAG couldn't fix the light leak, Zacks did.
Nikon FM2n, AI Nikkor 50mm f/1.8S, Kentmere Pan 400, developed in LegacyPro L110 at 1:31 for 5.5 minutes. Three individual black and white frames shot through Tiffen #25 Red, #58 Green, and #47 Blue filters, respectively, then combined using GIMP to create a trichrome color image.
Fuji GW 690III and Kodak Trix320 220 expired in 1976. Yes, 1976. Rated at ISO 100, developed w Cinestill DF96 Monobath (4 mins @ 75)
Frankly I was surprised that I could get anything, and this image is the best out of the lot. It still has fog (can be seen especially on the edges) but the very high contrast lighting helps a lot.

I don't recommend Shanghai film because their quality control is abysmal, and most of my frames have uneven emulsion coating and scratch marks. Other film that I shot that same day in the Fuji had zero issues.
I bought 10 rolls of the Shanghai, and out of the 4 I have so far shot, all have shown defects.
