Here are some shots with the Summicron 50 (instead of the ususal ZM 35/2) on an M3 instead of the M7. I seem to have done something wrong in development as this Delta 100 in DD-X looks awful. :(

Could you let me know if you think any of these are OK to go in my Street Photography gallery (if you've been following this project :) )?

Hadn't seen these before. I liked #3 (for obvious reasons) and #5 even more - probably because she has a nice smile. Well executed, as well, of course.

I'd probably leave out the second (tilted too much) and the fourth (action not too clearly visible). The last is particularly charming.

the shots i liked most are the third and fourth. but is the third a crop...or why is it looking like a vintage grain ? also the last is so good, it looks almost like a posed portrait shot:) i really like the highschool/college feel to these shots.

The third is cropped, but it's more than half of the negative :). Vintage. Ah yes, well I deliberately underexposed the shot and made some mistakes, errr, modifications to the development to get the horrendous, I mean vintage look.

The youngsters were, of course, NOT paid models. I do not cheat (unlike some famous photographers we could mention. Hah!) The american girl (she was dead cool, by the way) I took from about 2m away. It's not posed.
