I haven’t cleaned all the dust off as it needs to be re-washed really but I’m pleased with the results shot on Bessa R

Looks very clean for 1600. Any PP?

A slight darkening of the shadows but other than that it’s as is. I’ve shot quite a few rolls at 1600 now sent they’re always clean in this developer

These are some really lovely photographs, stunning contrast! I especially love that third shot. The 28mm Focal length is one which I love seeing others work shot on it but I cannot myself wrap my head around!

Honestly I always go wider. But my 20mm doesn’t work with the bessar too much rear element protrusion. The 28 however is fine and actually has a focusing cam as well as the added bonus that if you ignore all the framelines on the camera that’s about right for a 28. I think I can live with it.
I’d imagine I’m gunna use my canon 35/1.8 a lot more and This will only be for sunny days. Which at 55° north doesn’t happen all that often 🤣🤦🏻♂️

I dont know how you can do it! 35mm is about as wide as ill go - 28 on occassion, I just find wide angle difficult! Generally sit at 100mm for most things!
Sounds like a sensible purchase

Aye, wey.. for years I’ve loved rangefinders but the want of a meter internally like I have on SLR’s was getting to me. Now I’ve got as close to an SLR experience as possible but with my preferred focusing method.
Makes my mind up for travelling too.
