Some street photography with M3 and expired Kodak 125 PX film, developed in Xtol with 50/2 lens (version V). Exposures estimated using adjustments of the sunny f/16 rule. Love the viewfinder of the M3 in combination with 50 mm FL!

Nice. A 50mm + M3 is a match made in heaven.

I have been away on a trip for a couple of weeks. I can see some fantastic work has been posted in my absence
Here are a few shots from earlier this month:

Below is digitalization of an Agfa Scala image with just minor tonal adjustments, for it to look exactly like the slide. Perhaps no adjustments would have been necessary if I had used Live View on the 10 and enabled matrix metering for the auto exposure that I use.
What it shows is that the BEOON + M10 combination is a great alternative to scanning — and much faster. My feeling is that the results in scanning slides are at least as good that I got from my old Imacon Precision III scanner, which has a true optical resolution 6300 dpi and a dMax of 4.2. I doubt a scanner with a dMax of 3.6 (equivalent to about 1½ stops less dynamic range) could scan transparencies so easily: I saw a post by Borge stating that he found it difficult to scan slides with his Plustek.

I did a similar comparison comparing scanning the negative with my Plustek 8200i scanner and directly photographing the negative with my A7R and 50 mm macro lens. Quality was the same, but I find the scanning more convenient for a whole bunch of negatives to digitize. Especially for color negatives, I did not like the hassle to correct manually the WB of the recoreded RAW image file from the camera. The scanner-based SilverFast 8 software has the nice Negafix option which automatically adjusts the WB for the film used - barely any PP needed for saturation/coloration purposes.

Yes, but transparencies are usually denser than negatives and, therefore, can be substantially more difficult to scan. Our Norwegian friend, Børge, made this point in a post either on RFF or LUF, where he said that he gave up trying to scan slides with his Plustek, while he is happy to scan negatives with that scanner.

I can scan pretty dense negatives from Kodak P3200 negatives without issues using the Plustek scanner. But I made bad experience with it using it for slides - not because of the density of the slides but because of the out of focus behavior with different frame thickness on its specific slide holder. That's one thing I miss with this scanner - that there is no scan focus adjustment possible.

retrofocus - Interesting, and I like your tonality above. BTW, I'm not trying to knock the Plustek: it's just that I'm wary after having used the Imacon Precision III with its true optical resolution of 6300dpi and it dMax of 4.2, which ultimately always had trouble with the feed and drive mechanism that made me conclude that it's more suitable for a custom photo lab, where it can get the frequent service it may need.
With the BEOON, I have no complicated mechanisms to worry about — and particularly with the M10 I get very good results. Also, as I move between North America and Southeast Asia annually, I can take it with me — but I just bought a second BEEON, so that I can leave one in each of the two places, and don't have to worry about a complicated mechanism going bad in heat and humidity.

Wow, I love all the film here.
Mitch, great results with the M10 and BEOON. Interesting how well that works for scanning.
Edward, as always great work on the streets!
retrofocus, really like the last set you posted with the 35 cron

50 Lux....this lens just makes every shot better. I've owned a lot of different systems/lenses over the years. This lens is definitely my overall favorite
