It's a tough act to post photos just after Rick; one just get the feeling of anticlimax!
A few shots salvaged from a poorly developed roll of Fomapan 200 in a BessaT with corresponding lens captioned. Developer was Xtol.
5 Rings (50mm f/1.5 Nokton)
Replica Fishing (15mm f/4.5 Heliar)
Tire Man (50mm f/1.5 Nokton)
Drying Bamboo (15mm f/4.5 Heliar)
Harvesting (15mm f/4.5 Heliar)

Another great find but the more impressive are the outstanding photos Rick. I am convinced that any camera in your hands will churn out excellent images. The corollary of the old adage, it's the carpenter and not the tools! A 21st century AA!

Great results from the Washi S, kklow. Extrordinary lack of grain; I wonder if a little experimentation with softer development might produce more mid tone. Here are a few from the Pentax Super A with the 35-70mm SMC Pentax-A f/4 I pictured in the "What camera..." thread. The film was Kentmere 100 developed in PMK Pyro.

Yes I am still trying to find a development sweet spot for this Washi S film and will certainly check out your suggestion. Now I just need to find an opportunity to use the film!

I recently tried out a rather unorthodox film, Film Washi S. This film (ISO 50) was originally a sound recording film that is very high contrast and very fine grain. The film cannot handle contrasty situations well at all with absolutely no mid tones and is best used in a diffused lighting situation.I developed them in Rodinal 1:100 and the results were a real mixed bag with the bad ones overwhelming the good ones. Here is a selection of the acceptable images.
Man in Black .... Contax G2 28mm f/2.8 Biogon
Hope & Lives .... Contax G2 28mm f/2.8 Biogon
Net Fishing .... Nikon FM2n 55mm f/2.8 Micro Nikkor
Lion .... Contax G2 45mm f/2 Planar
Roller .... Nikon F 50mmf/1.4 Non Multi Coated (NMC)
Hooks .... Nikon F 50mm f/1.4 NMC
Back to You .... Nikon F 50mm f/1.4 NMC
Short Spire ..... Nikon F 50mm f/1.4
89 .... Olympus OM2n 180mm f/2.8

Greetings, all, and welcome to our new thread. Post all the images you like from any film camera. I'll start with some shots from a roll of Ilford HP5+ that I processed and scanned earlier in the week. Camera was Pentax Spotmatic F with 50mm f 1.4 Super Takumar.

Please forgive the inclusion of so many snow photos, but here in Mississippi we generally only get snow once or twice a year. And sometimes not at all.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing everyone's photos. The Pentax, btw, is the one I posted a picture of in the "What camera are you using this weekend?" thread from a couple of weeks ago. Unlike some cameras that use 625 cells, the Spotmatic F works fine with silver and alkaline cells as I believe the meter circuit is bridge type which I think will compensate for voltage.
Ha! Love the snow scenes Mike....you get them a few times a year but I have never seen any snow over here at all. The nearest we had to getting snow was some flurries during a recent freaky cold spell at the very top of our highest mountain (that's 13thousand and a half feet high) and it was just a burst.

Visited a travelling fair couple of months back. Place was closed off and all shots taken from outside the perimeter fence. Here's a half bakers dozen from that walk around. Camera was Olympus OM1 with 180mm f/2.8 Zuiko using Kentmere 400 developed in Xtol 1:2.

While I've had this Seagull DF SLR camera for some time, I've not previously run a film through it. I've used the 58mm Haiou-64 f/2 lens on the digital cameras and a very good lens it is, being basically a Biotar / Helios-44 copy with a Minolta SR mount. I'm half way through a roll of Kentmere 100 and it will be interesting to see the results.

Your camera collection never cease to amaze me Rick! All the cameras that I have seen you posted on this thread appear to look like they were hot off the press! Absolutely mint looking and they are all a joy to look upon, helping to bring back lots of fond memories.
The SeaGull brand of cameras were very popular this part of the world during the 70s and this was especially so with their TLRs. I remember this very well because my cousin had a Seagull TLR and with the large 6x6 negative size, photos returned from the shop were just direct contacts which helped to keep costs low for avid shooters. Ah, those were the days! Looking forward to see the results of your escapade with this Chinese classic.

Great work from the OM2, kklow; that Zuiko glass really is as good as it gets. Here are a few more from the Nikon FE with the35-70mm Nikkor f/3.5-4.5 lens. The film was Ilford FP4 Plus developed in PMK Pyro.

Yes Rick the Zuiko lenses do perform as well as what they are reputed to do. In fact I find that most lenses of the old film generation perform pretty well as you yourself have clearly demonstrated in your excellent mini reviews and photo shoot. Alas, the problem I find these days is the dreaded camera shake and inaccurate manual focus. I guess that's the trade off that us old timers have to accept when we qualify for Senior Citizens freebies and concessions! BTW my friends call me KK.
