Leica IIIa + Summitar 1/20th @ f/2
 
I have to apology in advance for those very poor scans.

The prints are very nice, but the scans are dull, and lack (even before the conversion in jpeg) much of the tones and details in the shadows… May be I should try to scan directly from the negs?

Anyway, this is with a Leica IIIg and a 1939 uncoated 9cm elmar, wide open, on Adox CHS 50 and 25 films.

The first one was taken at a very very low speed on an evening december day (and is blurred). The seconde one was taken indoor with a nikon SB-E flash set at auto, synched at 1/30.

From my IIIg, again, in august, through the eye of my LTM summicron 35mm, wide open, on Pan F+.

Poor scan, again, as the original is much much crisper and sharp (the lettering, the beer brand on the cup etc…).

Cheers from Yokohama, if I may say.

Badly composed and exposed shot with a Leica IIIc and Jupiter-3 from 2009. Right before the aperture ring froze up.
 
playing around with TMax 400 in Rodinal again, this is a two stop push in 1:50 - i may increase the dev time by 5 minutes next time but otherwise I like the results (these are basically straight scans, so lower contrast than if I printed them).
