Tri-X is not what it used to be to be honest, I do still like the modern version but it's definitely got a different look compared to the Tri-X Pan of old.
If you don't mind a slower film you should also give FP4 a whirl! It just has the most beautiful tones
Rick - great Cuban images (my favourites being 2 and 4 from your first set), and I agree how what an enjoyable experience is to be had visiting there.
Edward - your film images continue to please!
Ole - So many places to visit, funds and time are never enough to cover all wishes! Lofoten and Iceland are places I would like to return, Greenland too for a first visit...even Antarctica again, but that's such an expensive exercise.
Allen - I love that old woman portrait and the use of DoF to isolate her from the other woman.

Too bad. FP4 is very cheap around here. Will definitely get a few rolls. Thank you for the tip Abram!
David, thank you
Allen, something about the last photo, really love it!
Edward - I should have waited a couple more weeks...to buy your 262 since you clearly aren't needing it anymore! #2 and #5 are my favourites from your last post.
Toshiro - I love the gritty image as Edward accurately called it.
Some M240 shooting for me today.
The Easter bunny was hard to catch, completely impromptu, and probably easier to shoot from behind, even though my focus was a bit off. (Using Summarit 50 f/2.4)
Edward you are rock'n that M7 and film. PM me if you want to dump that 262 though I am saving my $$$$ for an M 10. I hear the waiting list is over a year.

I had a chance to try out the M10 last night with The Camera Store guys downtown. The camera feels really good in hand and it does seem just a bit quieter than my M240. The VF also seemed a bit brighter but not sure if that was just me. A very nice camera but I still won't be buying one though....

Thank you Allen! I'm really loving the film experience. I must be a masochist of some sort
No Masochism involved Edward, it's just an enjoyable way to produce images. That reminds me Allen, I need to use my 500CM more often (perhaps after I get a better medium format scanner).
My 35 Summilux Pre-Asph arrived now and I'm looking forward to getting to know it on my M-A and M240!

Hi Edward If I still had a darkroom I would be shooting with an older M of some sort and maybe a 500 C/M. I do miss the darkroom sometimes.
I spent many years developing and printing my own film, but I can't say that I miss it. However, I met a very nice Thai guy who does an excellent job in processing and scanning for a reasonable fee compared to the US prices. He also does wet prints from negatives and slides, which I really miss, so I will definitely be ordering some real prints sometime soon. This way, I only concentrate on shooting and let the pros do the difficult part
