Canon p with voightlander 35mm and Canon 100mm lenses. Delta 100, Rodinal.
 
Kodak Monitor Six-20, Fomapan 100 re-spooled onto 620 spools, testing this camera to make sure it works. According to a serial number guide Dead Link Removed, it's number 280 out of the entire production (EY280), so a very early one.
 
Minolta point & shoot 35mm camera. It used to be my paternal grandmother's, and she's now deceased.
Her pictures would always be blurry, because she would hold the camera in her left hand, and then with her right index finger extended downward, press down on the shutter pretty assertively, causing the entire camera body to rotate. :smile: It's so nice to think of her in those moments, and every time I use that old camera I think of her.
One roll of Kentmere 400, and two Ultrafine Xtreme 400, which I believe are very similar, if not identical, films.
 
Leica M2 with 35mm or 50mm Summicron lenses. Film: Tri-X 400 (the contemporary type), developed in HC-110 H (double the B dilution), 10 min at 68 deg. F. Scanned with a Plustek 7600i scanner using SilverFast software. The M2 has been in the family since new in 1962, but the lenses are 1990s vintage.

My grandmother did the exact same thing with a 1960's Brownie.
 
Finished the second roll of Agfa Vista Plus 200 in my Agfa Silette L. ... With this camera I've noticed that a bit too many close-focus wide-aperture shots (where I want to put the background out of focus) are failures: the closer subject is out of focus and the background is sharp. ...

Using a loupe plus groundglass at the film plane, the front element group forward of the shutter focuses beyond infinity when screwed in all the way. I've backed it out and realigned the focusing ring. I think this will place infinity focus correctly as well as close focus according to the scale.

... I'm now continuing my "everyday scenes" theme with one of my Kodak Retina IIa's using Kodak Ultramax 400.

Now on the second roll. The Retina IIa is a handy little camera and focusing is accurate and sharp!
 
New-to-me Mamiya C330s, first roll of fim through it, HP5+ drowned in HC-110.
 
Provia 100F 120, shot with a Yashica LM, processed at "The Lab" in Vancouver

My Nikon FE2, which I noticed when I used it last got quite a beating (again) somehow. The ISO dial which was already damaged is now stuck at 3200 and looks really bad, lol. I have a roll of Kodak Tri-X I'm shooting at 1600 in it. Which now is sort of a pain cause I have to add (or is it subtract?, I'm going one stop slower shutter) a stop to compensate for the meter being off. I also noticed the meter might be intermittently operational. The last film I developed was Kodak Tri-X at 800 if remember correctly. I also developed a roll of Ilford HP Plus at 3200 recently. Both in Kodak HC-110 dilution B.

Nice photo!!

I think that is why the oldest Brownies had waist level finders!
This would annoy me to NO END :tongue:

I completely agree! Honestly my favorite rangefinder :smile:
 
A young friend came over with 4 rolls of Delta 3200. I fired up my Jobo CPP2. XTOL straight. When I loaded the reels I used my IR googles. I don't need them to load 35mm, but I have gotten to where I always use for handling film.

Well since this thread popped up .... I ran 2.5 rolls of Tmax 400 through my Canon A-1, with well-regarded FD 35-105 f/3.5 Macro, during the Women's March in DC. It was a dreary day and I am a bit underwhelmed with the results, although some are not too bad (I posted 3 in my gallery here). I developed in HC110 1+63, as i do with most things.

Part of my problem was manual focus because I was between my second cataract surgery and new eye glasses (not to mention the distraction of stuff going on everywhere in a sea of a half million people!) I had never used 35mm Tmax, but did run a couple of tests before this event, and it seemed to do a pretty good job. I need to try printing a few to fully decide what I think about it. Don't shoot much 35mm any more, but wanted to be traveling light and nimble on this expedition. So I got to play photojournalist for a day -- woo-hoo! :errm:
 
Let's see, last 2 weeks I developed as follows:
- 6 x 120 Ilford HP5 400 ISO from Hasselblad, Fuji GW690III, Rolleicord Va in HC-110 dil 1:49 - all came out very well
- 3 AGFA APX100 and 1 Kodak Tri-X from: Canon New F1, Olympus OM1n, Contax IIIa and Leica M6 - 3 came out very well, the one from the Olympus screwed-up royally due to a bad Patterson reel. I still have few good frames on that film to use as reference.
I'm still behind specially with the printing of the above.
