I don't shoot with my 50 often. But here is one example.

Amalfi, March 2019.
Nikon S3 - Black Nikkor-H-C 50mm f/2 - FP4+ - D76 1+1.
I don't know why I can't see your photos. I've noticed in other posts of yours that some images will show, while others don't. It's a mystery to me.

PF, I see Highway 61's photo of the Fiat 500, and others of his, when browsing with Apple's Safari but not when using Firefox. So it seems there's a mismatch of some kind with the browser plus the way the photo is uploaded.

Great Amalfi picture, Highway 61. I love the tones too - they’re both hard and soft at the same time. Not easy to get. Brilliant.

Thank you very much. The light conditions were truly excellent on that March 2019 afternoon in Amalfi. I took advantage of the lockdown to make a large darkroom wetprint of the photo taken in the narrow stepping street (it's not unusual to meet those donkeys carrying out rocks taken off the seigniorial cemetery area, for those who know the place), on FB paper.

Highway 61, it was well worth all the effort to make the FB prints and get those tones. Superb!
Can I ask, once you’ve got the ideal print, how do you show it here? Do you scan it straight on a flat-bed scanner or take an iPhone picture or what. I’ve often wondered how it’s done in such a way that keeps the subtle qualities of the print, as you have done.

Thank you again. Actually the images shown here are scans of the negatives (carefully adjusted in PhotoShop so that the rendition is quite up to what I want).
The scan of the ideal FB print made with a flatbed scanner would look pretty identical since the ideal print looks identical to the post-processed file scanned off the negative. But each scan, was it from the negative of from a successful print, has to be post-processed carefully before display. The "straight from the scanner" images always look grey and flat and are quite unusable as such. But they have to look like this so that they have headroom enough to be adjusted for further display.

Many thanks. I understand it now!
