Your SLR Images

Yesterday I experimented with using an old Canon G9 in manual mode as a light meter - the LCD shows the exposure changes as you adjust shutter and aperture, and it makes a nearly idiot-proof way of ensuring there's no clipping. But it does feel like cheating, so it's back to the Sekonic today. 500c, 150/4 plus ext. tube, XP2, HC-110, X1 scan:

What a beautiful image!
 
I do like the Sonnar 150/4!

I see it's time for some new fixer - those stripes are a peculiarity of underfixing XP2 after HC-110 development. They happen if you use standard dilution fixer, so I make mine a bit more concentrated. 5 minutes for the first 20 films and 10 minutes for the final ten films. This was film #26 and had ten minutes but I guess I can refix it if I want. Oh, they are arranged vertically as this was done in a motorised Rondinax 60.
 
I've kept my dslr since moving to a rangefinder but limit it to a 100-400 zoom, a macro and an 85mm for fast moving events at night in low light. Below are the kind of images this setup gets me which I can't (yet) with my rangefinder lenses.

Like all new cameras I acquire, its not "mine" until I've exposed a frame or two on my favorite corrugated-metal barn. Komaflex-S, Kodak Ektar 100.
