How is Fuji G 690BL and Fuji GL690?

A test shot after meter revived in my AE100

A test shot after meter revived in my AE100

Test for metering. Got 8 shots well metered on a 120 roll.
Processed by Walmart "send out only" envelope. Done by Fuji. Acros 100. $9.75 for pics and processing and sleeved negs. No postage because the WalMart trucks carry the film both ways. Ten days, as always. They call when it's back in the store.

Fuji GL690 and AE100 EBC coated lens. I purchased the lens cheap since the meter was dead. Frank at Camera Wiz worked his magic and here we are. As metered from the lens.

The image is the neg scanned on an Epson V500 using Epson Scan home mode and the stock film holder???

It's a far better image on my computer. I'm troubled by the degradation of linking from Photobucket and looking for suggestions. These images are seriously worse than when viewed on my computer. When viewed on my monitor you can clearly read the sign on the stone post next to the right side of the door.
 
Agreed.

I particularly appreciate the AE these days.

I got a lot of my 690 equipment in one lucky purchase from Australia.

I just bought another GL690 + 100/3.5AE.

This time from an enthusiast reducing his collection.

Couldn't resist a great bargain!

Using Flickr, a couple of things i have tried- convert to sRGB before uploading. And upload sizes that are simple multipliers of whatever pixel size Flickr will cram the image into. Posting on Flickr groups, images are limited to 500 pixels wide. So I resize to 1000 pixels wide for uploading. This seemed to reduce the amount of pixel-stomping they do. Not sure if this will help for photobucket.

Nice shots. Whatever stomping has been done, the tonalities and images are great.
