Amazing, that makes me feel like go and visit the place
Reason why you barely see any people on my photos above is that I was lucky to be there before buses with tourists came. Also the cafe Leitz is great - had a good coffee and cake there (nice cake variety to choose from!). IMO this place is perfect for B&W photography. The inside architecture allows to shoot at low ISO (film) without flash.

Speaking of film, I like your Natura 1600 shots. Nice shots overall BTW. But about the film itself, I actually don't know how much editing of the colours you did on the computer (as they look great when you use the film).. But I find most Fuji film to be way to green. And in the case of Natura 1600 it's really finicky with exposures. You kinda have to get it spot on, or over exposed. Under exposing and the blacks go bad and needs a LOT of work on the computer afterwards (assuming you're scanning negs). I don't use Natura.
Your shots look good (from a purely film stock perspective), so I'm curious how much PP went into the shots. Maybe your Lab is better than mine
Again, great images overall film stock aside! I quite like the happy barber and the expression from the tailor.Thank you very much Adam!
The Natura 1600 to my eyes is surprisingly fine grained, and for sure has a very low contrast. I don't know how finicky it is about underexposure, I did get two unusable shots in this roll but I'm sure they were underexposed by at least 2 stops. Speaking of labs, I found that I get better results with my new scanner (primefilm XE) and silverfast software (included) than the best local pro labs. The software has a negative scanning app with film profiles for most common emulsions. I only adjust contrast and exposure, and select between auto or no auto color. I did notice Natura required more contrast boost than with other films, and the colors are more muted but I didn't change that since I religiously don't mess with film color
Edward - how long approximately does it take you to scan 36?I think about 2.5-3 hours including some adjustments, trying different film profiles... etc, so basically deliberately slow. It takes 2 minutes to scan a frame without adjustments.
This is about right - this weekend I developed 3 self-rolled rolls of B&W film in one batch which took approx. 40 minutes. Drying the film was another 2 hours. Scanning the about 120 frames took me half a day, approx. 7 hours overall. Where you save time with film is in digital post-processing of the scanned negatives - only slight changes are needed like brightness/contrast adjustments and some dust particle removal. I personally find scanning the most tedious step in the whole film processing. But it is necessary because it allows to screen the taken negatives for quality on a big screen - the very good negatives make it into my darkroom for printing at some point later. As scanner I am using the Plustek 8200 Ai.

I've been wanting to rough up M10 images for some time, but haven't shot much lately. Here's one I tried this is on.
M10 | Summaron f/5.8 28mm | ISO 200 | f/8 | 1/350 sec

Shot the last couple rolls of my super ancient Tri-X Pan 400. I think it expired some time around 1990? Anyways, Last time I used it I shot it at 200, this time I thought I would try shooting it at 100 but still developing for 400 since it was so expired. Guess it still works!
I used my M-A with the 28 Elmarit ASPH for these and no filtration.

How does this film (Bergger 400 Plus) compare with HP5+ 400 and Tri-X 400? Is there a severe difference? Benefits?

Some random images from the past week or so getting acclimated to the Leica system again. So happy to be back. All were shot with an M240 and 50 cron v4.

It's an interesting film stock. I've only shot a few rolls so far (I had 12 total) it's definitely lower contrast than HP5 or Tri-X but I do like the overall tonality and grain structure. It's got a bit of a softer character as I believe it was a French cinema film? I've just been shooting it at box speed, I've not tried pushing or pulling yet.
It's not going to become a standard film for me but I will enjoy what I have. HP5 and Tri-X are my standards and will remain so.
I'm considering sticking fully to Ilford for a while but I'm going to shoot through all the supply I have first.

The two emulsion layers look very interesting. It's supposed to have a very wide exposure latitude, hence probably the lower contrast.

Ah that's actually their NEW film that they just released the one I'm using is an older stock from them called BRF400 Plus (http://bergger.com/bergger-brf400-plus-1-film-135-36.html?___store=bergger_en&___from_store=bergger_fr)
