These shots were taken on Fathers Day. They were all probably at F2. Maybe the the Scotch was taken at F1.4. But i can't remember. Regardless, the character of this lens is so pleasing.

Great shot Helen!
Her sweater/coat really draws your attention to her. A little pop of white in a sea of dark grey and black.

Looks good, Giulio! In situations like this you can try split grade printing. Then you have to make two exposures on the same paper: one with filter 00 for the soft, light tones (usually very long) and the other with filter 5 (usually very short) for the deep blacks. It takes some time to find out the exposure times, but you can get great results with it. I make all my enlargements in split grade.

Thanks Erik, I know about split grade from some of your posts.

Practice makes better they say and I am a total beginner here so I will keep printing while trying to learn as much as I can.

Pleasantly surprised on how nice the colors came out with my 45 year old lens and some Ektar!
