Nikon SP - first roll

[marcr1230]

I just purchased a very nice SP and lens from a fellow RFF'er
Here's a sample shot using an 8.5cm Nikkor P , fairly wide open
Using HP5+

I really don't like this film, it just doesn't work for me
Anyway now I have a good nikon kit. Time to get out and use it

What's wrong with the film? To low contrast? This shot is nice.

Not sure if it's me or the circumstances but I find HP5+ too "creamy" seems naturally weight towards the light end of the tones. in the picture above it worked out, but in general the negs look overall darker than other films I shoot

Nice photo. I haven't shot HP in a long time, but I used to prefer it over Tri-X.

I've always liked the look of the Nikkor 85/2 - you caught some great expressions, although it looks like the boy (your son?) is recovering from a little mishap to his right wrist.

Hope you're enjoying the camera! 😀

Thanks Paul. You should know the lens and camera well 🙂
The subject are my wife and son, who broke his arm a couple weeks ago.
They are my usual test subjects
