In the last month:
Finished a roll of Delta 400 in my Minox IIIs with outstanding results.
Finished two boxes of Impossible Spectra in my Polaroid Image 1200. I'm still learning how to use the camera's crude exposure compensation in bright and dark scenes. According to Polaroid's own service manual, there is no longer any fine control: it is just a switch that will give you +2/3, 0, -2/3. The Impossible film has improved over time, but tends to bloom easily on highlights. Sometimes this can be put to good artistic effect. Note: I am still keeping the film totally in the dark for at least an hour immediately after exposure. Nor sure if this is still necessary.
Lastly, just finished a roll of Ektar 100 in one of my F2's (74xxxx), using pre-AI 105/2.5 and 28/3.5 lenses. The prints are just amazing in their sharpness and bokeh (sorry can't show photos; I have no scanner).

Sounds good.
Does your photolab offer scan-to-CD services? I don't have a scanner either, but have my analog stuff up on flickr. I just order a high-res CD scan of the negatives with processing and have them do no color correction, so I get whatever came off the film.
Might be worth checking into.
I'm still working through the roll of Superia 400 in the F and the roll of Ektar in the F2AS.
