Mike Gammill Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Greetings everyone and welcome to our new thread, Post all the images you want from any film camera. Tech data and location are always a plus. I'll start with some images from a roll of Tri-X that I processed and scanned earlier in the week. Camera was Minolta XE-5 with 45mm f 2 MD Rokkor-X. The Ritz restaurant in West Point, Mississippi. In addition to good food players of Pokemon Go should be happy as this location recently became a Pokestop. I don't play it, but I know lots of people who dol Also in West Point, an office building that over the years was a flower shop and even earlier a drug store. When I was in junior high school I bought Walgreens brand 126 black & white film. I remember that it was made in Belgium. a memorial to a city employee (yes, West Point as well) who passed away a few years ago local fountain turned off for routine work Worn flag disposal antiques in barber shop window in West Point One more, same camera except I used the Sigma 90mm f 2.8 macro. sign Looking forward to seeing everyone's images. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m42dave Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) River Trail The images above seem a bit softer than the originals, for some reason--I've noticed that sometimes when uploading, but not always. Not sure if it's a file compression issue or something else, but these scans are the original size. Edited February 20, 2020 by m42dave 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_drawbridge Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 A great start to the thread; particularly nice crisp images from the XE-5, Mike. Here are some from my first rolls through a newly-acquired Minolta XD-7. The film was Arista EDU Ultra 100 developed in PMK PYro. I tried a few Tamron Adaptall II lenses on the XD-7 body and was quite pleased by the results. Here are two using the 24mm Tamron Adaptall II f/2.5.(Model 01B) 80 Forest #5 Some from the excellent 35-210mm Tamron SP Adaptall II f/3.5-4.2 (Model 26A) Dry Summer Farm Posie Post The School Bus Shelter 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 I need to make a Tupelo trip soon as well. Just under an hour from where I live (a bit less if I go in the Mustang). Just put a fresh bulk load of HP5+ in my bulk loader tonight so I'm ready weekend photos. Great beginning to the thread, everyone. @rick Drawbridge- thanks for the compliment. My XE-5 is a bit of a beater, but works fine although for ISO 400 I have to set the meter to 250. I like the compact 45mm Rokkor on the big XE-5 even though the lens looks "lost" on such a large camera. @Moving On- are you taking any photos these days? I really liked what you shared with us before and look forward to seeing more of your work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Looked into my "way back machine" for some older images. From my first roll of color film (outdated 127 Ektachrome-X) complete with light leaks from not winding film as tight as I should have. From around 1968- Camera was a Sears (aka Imperial Cubex). Man in photo was my dad with his Mamiya Sekor 1000 TL and Vivitar 85-205 f 3.8 zoom. Here's one from 1975 from a roll of Tri-X shot in my Konica Auto S2 my parents' house (which I bought about 10 years ago). Car out front is my first car- a used 1969 Mustang. my younger sister, Minolta SRT 201 with Celtic 135mm f 2.8, Tri-X old depot in West Point, about 1975 or so, Konica Auto S2, probably Ektachrome of some variety 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moving On Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Did some work at General Atomics in Brewer a while back. There is a good place to get a plate lunch east of 45 there, old store with some picnic tables out front. Pretty good ‘nana puddin’. Got a couple of rolls of BW I should get to next day or so.... Like the Depot. Warm light. Sis looks focused.... Edited February 21, 2020 by Moving On Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 I've heard of General Atomics, Moving On, but I've never been there. Do you remember what that store east of hwy 45 is called? If you passed through West Point on the way to General Atomics you passed through my town. We have a locally owned coffee shop called Jubilations that is worth stopping at. And they serve excellent cheesecake. And thanks for the compliments on the photos. During that time I was experimenting with time exposures. The old E4 slide films of the day had really wide exposure latitude. And my family owning a camera shop meant I could borrow most anything I didn't own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
