Excellent shots. I'm shooting some CN tomorrow.

Try the XP2 Super also.

 

[takeda72]

Thanks!

I bought two rolls of XP2 today.

I have some rolls of Tri-X and Tmax also... but I want to process the films myself and I am buying all the stuff.

Did you process these yourself? I love that first one! Is the Elmar the LTMlens? Is it 3.5? I've been thinking of getting one.

Great photos. The first one is impressing, the second one is also very good.

Thanks for the comments.

No, I did not processed myself.

I used a Elmar M 2.8.

Question on the CN and XP2...

If you get it developed at, say Walgreen's, will their machine print out the b&w photos, too?

Always been curious about that...

Lovely shots, Takeda!

Sure... They print on color paper so there's often a slight overall color tint they don't trouble to remove. Same with the scans, but it's easy to remove the tint there. If you have enlargements made on regular B&W paper, obviously the tint of the paper base and any chemical toning applied will determine the look.

Good shots! Congratulations on your camera, a great combination; I also shoot with a DS M3, great way to drive a 50, in my case a Summicron 50.

 

[takeda72]

Thanks for your comments.

I really appreciate.

I am really in love with this camera.

PVia - I use Walgreens to process XP2 and only get the negs and scans on CD...costs less than $5. Don't get the prints, the paper they use is not suited for B&W prints, it has a really weird color cast and you will be disappointed.

Very nice photos Takeda72!! Looks like you and the M3 were made for each other.
