Colin, Thank you for the Piccadilly Circus, and Trafalgar Square images. I stayed there for a week in 1972, but was shooting an Argus C3 aka the brick. Somehow the black and white connects more - even though i shot both Plus-X and Ektachrome while there. Some more found older images...

Started to seriously process old negs with the PB-6, Z6, 55mm 3.5 and flash. Setup similar to the photo below but with more diffusing on the flash.
Using NX-D to process negs, it is fun to do it all backwards, my corrections are linear, would be nice to find custom curves. I am willing to buy adobe sw to improve my output. One of the complexities seems to be tonal change with exposure adjustments. I can get well exposed sunlit negs to look nice.
Will keep recording RAW NEFs as I can improve conversion later.
Any recommendations?
In my many lives I used to design optics and algorithms for fluorescent indwelling catheters to measure blood gases continuously as a fiber optic radial artery catheter.
These photos are from a clinical trial at Stanford Medical center.
30 years have passed but still selected photos to hide identities, except for mine.
Kodak Ektar 1000, Z6 at iso 100,flash verbotten, no noise reduction, wanted the film grain as it was. F2SB likely a 50mm 1.4.
Yup, if it has an AF motor in it, it's not a manual focus lens even if you can manually focus it. (for the purpose of this thread)

I have to find af switch button on lens. All photos taken by mf up to now. It should be easier for me with af ability but I have to pick it out of this topic.
Some more from Cheng Island. F100, 35/2 O & 55/1.2 SC with Portra 400.
The last shot is of a 3,000yo rock carving on the island. There's actually a fair few of these rock carvings around HK especially on islands for some reason. The 3rd shot is a of a fish tree native to the island and not found anywhere else
Lara, check out the archived pages on this thread, the GAS will be fully cured!
Phong, that nesting pigeon is very cute, post that to the Nikon MF users shooting AF thread. I have a recent addition that I will be planning to visit there with in a few days.
Dean your Portra work is inspiring, I may end up grabbing some of that film myself soon.
