First roll in a lot of ways actually... First roll through my CL, first roll of black and white film, first roll with a rangefinder- to all intents and purposes, my first roll of film!
Ok, not all of them were good, or even alright. Some were hampered somewhat by the lens cap still being on... Some by me totally forgetting to focus properly, or meter properly. Some by me forgetting that you can't just photograph anything and expect a 'good' photo.
But God I had fun! And I learned more from it than from the last 2 years with a DSLR. And I won't be going back!*
Anyway, thought I'd share my 'best' from the roll. Hope you like it, any comments/criticism welcome, you won't destroy my enthusiasm!

ps. the rest are here, don't want to post too many here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/27087204@N03/sets/72157609368802916/

Two classic-looking photos, I think you're doing well for your first roll.

I am excited to see your results...I just bought mine yesterday from a local store with a 40/2 summicron...ze German built one...I am not sure a single roll of film has ever been through it! Get this, they replaced the meter, checked the RF calibration and sold it for a somewhat inflated price. Will post my results soon.

Great first roll efforts.
Great first roll efforts.
Enjoyed seeing your CL and Nokton shots. The first one is super. I commented in the gallery, the rest are excellent. Keep up the good work!
