Show us yer film shots then!

I've always been very pleased with the results from my Autocord, but curiosity got the best of me and I picked up seventy-year-old Rolleiflex Automat from Nick (@RaglanSurf) out of the classifieds section to see what all the fuss was about. Its uncoated tessar lens is a bit prone to flare (which I rather like in some instances), but I'm impressed with how smoothly it operates and the quality of its images, especially given its age.




 
That 3rd shot of the house is beautiful RJ, so crisp clean and I love the tones!

Usually I shoot skateboarding on digital as it's a lot easier and you can shoot as many frames as you like, but I've been trying it with film too recently.

I just wish he wasn't wearing such dark clothing that day!

Shot at St Pauls Cathedral - Canon A1 - Fuji Xtra 400.

Bonjour from Lille.:wave:

There is something about the Automat that I really like. The colour rendition is lovely and it is such an easy camera to use, everything is smooth and simple.
A lovely set of shots RJ.
 
Two from Whitby.

Some shots from Coventry... expired BW400CN, commercial processing.

1) Frank Whittle, looking rather lost...



2) Footbridge over the inner bypass



3) Graffiti...



Been keeping these, thinking of the POTY street round, but chose something very different.

Good series Chris. Enjoying the graffiti but love the movement in Franks cityscape.

Thanks :) I was going to use portra, but it was such a grey damp miserable day i was hoping the natural sutration madness of slide would give the colours a kick and it did a bit.

Thanks Trevor. I really wanted to try that shot again when the lights next changed, but was too chicken!
 
think the fomapan is overrated on asa, used to expose the fomapan 100 at 50-80asa so maybe the 200 would work best at 120-160
 
seriously , it needs more than that :) I metered it at 8 seconds at f32. It was still underexposed at a minute!

Im tempted to bin the rest of it and go back to Ilford films. Im just too tight to waste whats left ;)

Chris, really like all of these, particularly the first one.
 
Bought a few different B&W films to try out (for scientific comparison obviously, not because I'm addicted). Went to Stourhead Gardens to try out PanF+ with the C220. These are the best of the roll I think:

Got some nice autumn shots on some Portra 400 too, but I can't dev that at home so I have to wait until Wednesday to see them!

Nothing in this world infuriates me more than trying to get a roll of 120 onto a developing spool!!
