I'm impressed! I know we're not supposed to talk about the conversion of Analogue to that other format but the work you've done to enable us to view these on a computer machine is of a very high quality!

I agree 100%! If this is with just a small amount of levels adjustment and "no" sharpening or anything else, then I'd say he should be one happy camper. Makes me want to tuck my Rollei and "blad away and haul my Pentax 67 out. JohnW

I don't know if it is only me or it is normal, i use Hasselblad 501CM and Mamiya RZII, comparing the two cameras results my RZ films are always superior to my Hasselblad whatever i do, i don't want to talk about digital or scan, but when i scan from both, i always hold my breath watching scans from RZ, always blown away over Hasselblad ones, and i tested once to print from RZ and Hasselblad while i was taking a workshop about wet printing, the best print i got was from RZ all the way.

A side note: scans from my GSW690III blown away my RZ scans, so i feel the larger format you go, the better resolution you may get.
 
Nice shots. Very Impressive. I love the boy shots they have a great feel to them. I am also impressed by the fm3 shots. It looks so real, like I could reach out and take it! Well done!

No doubt why i bought a lot of Acros film, it became my best ever film from the first time i used it, if i can choose films on different ISOs then Acros is my winner at 100 ISO speed.

Thank you Andrew and I know my ultimate test would be a print from the negatives but I'm heading there.

Thanks for the feedback. The Nikon shoot were on tripod and I'm also impressed with the results; the metering on the P67 is superb.

At the shooting

I've used Acros in all of them and Acros has not found one of my cameras it hasn't liked. Of course I really haven't used HC-110 since my college photo classes, which were strictly TRI-X. It did fine with TRI-X, but it looks like it does even better with Acros. I'll have to keep that in the back of my mind and when winter boredom sets in it will be something to try again. JohnW
