Looks to me like there's some film reticulation happening here adding to the effect (see the sky in the alfa romeo photo). The op said he developed it in pretty warm chemistry. Fun photos though! Lens sure held up despite being shot directly into the sun (heart/beach photo). Surprising really.These have such a lovely character. They are "low-fi" but not overwhelmingly so. I am thinking part of their strong appeal must be because you are an excellent printer -- from what I can see. The grain is stronger than I would expect from Tri-X... is that because of the chosen developer?

You have the negatives and you know how you scanned it so there's no way I would ever say you're wrong and I'm right, but I would have bet the farm and the wife that was reticulation. I also would have thrown in the kids for free.No reticulation (believe me I know what that is!). The first batch were underexposed and that is the effect of getting an image from a thin negative.
Interestingly this lens causes camera's internal meters to give screwy readings, and I'm not sure why. With my M7 and Bessa L the meters cannot be trusted, sometimes it is close, other-times obviously way off.
I now meter separately or just go Sunny F16.
Both those cameras meter perfectly with every other lens I use on them.
Smart man.I'm not gonna take that bet!
Nice job, Huss. This is brilliant. I think I like the Wtu lens more and more.

Someday I'll be like Huss...
Good grief, for your sake I hope not!
This lens? On that camera? Maybe you can put an Elmar on a disposable.
I do have a Bessa lying around some place.
I super glued a wide angle cellphone lens to a disposable once. I hope you don't do that to an R2.
