Well, may GAS got the better of me, and I picked a used Bessa III version from a forum member at an extremely fair price I feel. This camera’s shutter release is so quiet and motionlessness that I thought the shutter wasn’t snapping at first. I’d love to see samples of different types of film from this folder. I am in love with it.


Can some of you post samples from different types of film say print and slide? I'd love to see them from the RFF community.

... and most of the other Delta 3200 shots on my stream. I shoot it at either 1000, 1250 or 1600 and tell the lab to develop normal. I don't even tell them how I shot it. I've done this at two different labs with identical results. Most of the time I use 1,000. What you get is a nice separation of tones but a high ISO to work with. Where as if you push Tri-X to 1600, you will get a lot of blocking in the shadows, which I love also, but you don't always want to do that.

Edit: I should say that the one time I shot it at 1600 and told the lab to pull one stop, I didn't like the results... extremely low contrast was the result.

I shoot 135, but this is what I do all the time with Delta 3200. I shoot it at 1600 and don't say anything to the lab (no pull). Works great.

I just looked and this lab you mention doesn't appear to do E6 processing. I shoot mainly E6 when I shoot 8x10. When I asked the main guy at LTI when they would give it up, he said they'd be the last lab to go in NYC.

Good to know.

I recently had CRC develop a few E6 rolls, they're online as Vista Imaging:

Super happy with how they came out and they do mail order. That's useful since I live out in the burbs. (Previously, I mailed the film across the country to Samy's, but I'd lose a week to shipping alone.)

I also had them make several R-Type prints. FSM, they're beautiful. I need to get more done. I wish I could find out more about R-Type prints.

I heard about them from Jim at MV Labs, where the GF interns:
