Nice pics Scrambler. 
Here's my contribution ... not as much variation as I would have liked and I only put one roll of film through the camera and it was mostly shot at the public art instalation I was working at in Brisbane.
All HP5+

They looking good, Keith. Can you give Dev Times etc. HP5 is never that kind to me always have trouble with it.
Is the metal construction part of the artwork? If yes then it would look really cool with the spot lights on at night.
Anyhow very nice.

Thanks Mike. I never really got on with HP5+ until I started developing it in Rodinal ... it always seemed very flat and muddy in Xtol and although it gets a bit grainy with Rodinal it has some life. I just took the times off the digital truth charts which is eleven minutes for 50+1 but I'm very gentle with agitation as the grain will overpower the look if you're not careful.
It's a big piece for sure and consumed five tonnes of stainless steel ... marine grade all laser cut then polished. It's kind of like the ultimate meccano set! It's positioned in an open eating area adjacent to several resaurants.

Here is my contribution. I went for a walk around a rail track. I used Ilford FP4+ because that is what I had at home. I also put through a roll of Tri X but can't seem to get the curl out of it to scan it.
the selfie...

Good stuff Helen. I particularly like the selfie, very inventive.

It was more out of caution. I only had a frame or two left on the roll. I was not sure how many. I did this one at the park first.

My Experience.
My Experience.
Where to begin….
This camera has character. A character I have never met before in the world of photography.
A character not only created by the lens and the images it produces but also character in the way it feels, operates and handles. It’s the little quirks that made this camera such a joy to use.
The camera is unlike any other I had used before. Not having a light meter felt very limiting in the beginning but after a few shots I began to trust my eyes. Never have I done this before. This was the most surprising aspect of my experience – I have become so used to using my Leica’s in built light meter, using this camera without one was joyfully liberating. I was proud of the images we created together and the notion and romantic nature of no electronics being involved in the process was incredible. It’s nice to know that my M6 has the light meter there but from now on I will be more trusting of my eyes.
This camera has changed the way I shoot.
I thank RFF for allowing me to shoot this stranger and I hope that I meet a character like this again.

Havn't had the chance to comment on the thread or have a decent review of the images.
Scramblr, I really like your 3rd and 5th images. There is something about the hands on the hips look in the 5th one.
Keith, Your 1st and 3rd images really grab me. Interesting shapes and a good eye.
Ricnak, The self portraits are fantastic. And because i like architecture and engineering the first two shots of the bridge just jump out at me.
Hamfish, Got yourself some great images of some cool split second moments. What film was it?
Thank you will have to get yourself an M4 since you can live without a meter now. haha
Anyway camera is on my desk now. Hope to grab a fresh roll tomorrow since i only hav half shot rolls all over the place at the moment.

Nice project - same camera - different styles.

Hi guys.
So im the guy who had the camera before Hamfish
its taken me this long because of a few things that has happened the last few months.
here I post 5 shots out of my 6 salvaged. I had taken about 20 shots, but i stupidly opened it up without winding.
not saying the shots I lost were any better, these shots were on the start of my roll, and experimental shots. I really wished I had more time with the camera, because it was a joy to handle. But as I mentioned above, it was a busy few months for me.
I really hope to be part of this again, and hopefully I will have better material to offer

I noticed that there are spots on the negative, probably from the developing at photo continental. might try to find time to learn how to develop next year.
