Show us yer film shots then!

I found my old Olympus XA in a box of old equipment. I last used the camera around 15 to 20 years ago. It was my holiday camera pre-digital. That got me looking through my old photos that were taken on the XA.

Ooh - that's rather nice. What's the handling like on the back? I have a hankering for a pano back, even though I can only print to 5x4.

I've been finding it okay (still early days), a few extra steps with the extra ground glass and quite a bit more weight to carry, but straight forward to use and all works very nicely.

Very nice, tight composition. Great reflections in for the foreground. I would probably have burned the sky in a bit to balance the dark reflections. Hope you don't mind the minor criticism.

Thanks, Peter. Don't mind criticism at all. Due to the orthochromatic nature of paper, it's very rare to have any clouds visible on paper negatives. On a lensed camera I might try using a grad filter but that's not an option with pinhole.
 
Quick test shot today to try out the 6 x 4.5 back on the Rolleiflex (There is another story to this elsewhere!)

My first roll of Phoenix 200 in 120. I like that it is toned down a bit compared to the 35mm version.

The pictures have an interesting glow and luminosity about them. Since you were using the Fuji, I imagine it isn't a result of the lens design. I wonder how this film would look for portraits?
