Bessa/GF670 samples...

Great job. The low-light pics really pop. Didn't think it was possible with such a slow lens, with enough DOF. Did you rate the Delta at at 1600?
 
Thanks, Dana! This was a good test for the GF670. Sure the lens would be slow for 35mm, but for medium format it is OK and allows for smooth focus-OOF transitions.
I exposed the Delta 3200 at ISO3200 and developed it according to the Ilford times for 3200, but adapted to my room temperature (7.45 min at 22.5°). I know that many expose it at 1600 and develop like 3200. I may try this. I will use the GF670 on two photo projects in the next months.

Peter,

Great shots. I'll post a couple more samples from Ilford Delta 3200 when I have a chance to scan them, hopefully later today. They're of similarly unexciting objects as my first one, but I like some of the results, look-wise. In the photo I took, the film gets the tonal transitions in the glass nearly spot on. I'm very pleased.

Those are fabulous concert photos. They capture a lot of emotion, and the choice of depth of field is very well judged artistically.
 
I have enjoyed this camera immensely, wonderful lens and so quiet and light. It looks quirky and old-fashioned and nobody seems to mind me taking their photo with it.

Quoting ChrisM: "It looks quirky and old-fashioned and nobody seems to mind me taking their photo with it."

True in my experience in shooting people in a homeless camp/in the local free speech plaza, where anyone with a DSLR or a classic black 35mm is regarded as a narc or snoop or pervy tourist.

Also true with TLRs in similar street situations, and it's edging me closer to selling off more of the small cameras I got for streetshooting and sticking with the folder/TLR approach, if only to let my subjects not mind being subjected to a lens.

East Neuk, I really like this scene. Maybe it’s because I live in the tropics and don’t actually have to put up with the snow and cold.

But I particularly like the forest on the hillside in the background and the architecture of the building.

Where is this?
 
J_Hoff, it's in Montreal. There are a series of hospital buildings all in that style on the south side of the 'mountain'.

On the other side of things in terms of climate, here are some cactuses shot with a yellow filter:

It’s amazing: I know next to nothing about Montréal, but with a little sleuthing using Google Maps, I was able to find within a few feet the precise spot where your photo was taken. What the Internet makes possible!

Thanks, EaseNeuk!
 
The colours were a little off, so I had to tweak it in LR5. I think I will have to re-scan them again as well as test another roll. Portra 160.
