My first Ektar 100 & new scanner

This time I tried to develop and scan film in professional photo lab. And results impressed me a lot. I don't even expect that the Nikon's Coolscan V ED can be way better than Epson's V750. But it does. I wanted to scan on Coolscan 5000 ED, but glitches happen with it.
Also this is my first Ektar 100 film. I avoided it earlier - because samples from web looked so dull for me. Now I see how cool that film is (with ).

"Fujifilm Velvia 100" or "Fujichrome pt.2"

That's my 2nd attempt to become friends with color reversal film. This time was used a li'l bit expired Fuji's Velvia 100. Camera used: Nikon FM2n. E-6 developing process. Scanned on Epson V750.
And this roll of film was a confirmation that Vevlia loves the sunny days, and that's why my previous Velvia (Velvia 50) was too dark - because it was exposed when autumn days was too cloudy and rainy.

Kodak TRI-X 400

Developed in Kodak's D76: stock, 4min45sec (25C). Camera used: Nikon FM2n.

Awesome Micro-Nikkor 55/3.5

 

Neopan Acros 100 & D76

I love Acros 100 for it's unique image: soft and non-grainy. This time I developed it in expired Kodak's D76 (which had expired in may '14, but I bought it for the price of a fresh one). Anyway 1 more year of storage doesn't affect on images. Developed in stock D76 for 5.25min (developing time I get from devchart).
Captured on Nikon FM2n with micro-nikkor 55/3.5 and nikkor 50/1.8, so a lot of macro there:

My Minolta XD. It was so hard to find it in Ukraine for sale

AGFA Vista 200 from XD

At least - first film from Minolta XD (which I'd fixed earlier). I was lazy to go for another lab so I got bad developing: all film is in dried drops. Next time I'll go to another lab. Anyway, here we go:

Another one silhouette :3 On onedrive *.ai file

AGFA Vista plus 200

One more roll of AGFA's Vista form Nikon FM2n again. Developed in Konica's photo lab and scanned on Epson V750. Because of lab's mistakes - a lot of small spots left on the film. Next time I'll try another lab. Anyway, now FM2n charged with Fuji's Acros 100 (to develop that film I bought Kodak's D76 original developer already). And I had changed light seals on Minolta XD and put Agfa Vista plus 200 into.

Famous tree in the city park. I dunno what's that name (:

AGFA Vista 200

When I saw an auction with this film there was a notice: film from Germany. I received the film, and what I see: Made In Japan. But I remember my "japanese" Vista 400 and I knew that was good. All this "made" with Nikon FM2n. And there'll be pictures from my trip to the village.

Even more of Kodak's TRI-X 400

Yay! Received two rolls of this famous Kodak's film for a good price ($6.5 per roll) and "fresh" (exp 06/2017). I tried one roll earlier in rodinal developer. This time I'll try original Kodak's D76 for developing this film (because of it's price, storage time and good results).
For this moment my Nikon FM2n "charged" with lil' bit expired AGFA Vista 200 (shooting it without compensation - as ISO200). Also when I'll replace light seals on my Minolta XD - I'll charge it with Fujifilm's Acros 100 film.

Light seals arrived!

Two months of shipping via sea and I got it. Custom light seal kit for Minolta XD from "uscamera". I want to replace those on my next holidays and try this camera already (with Fuji's ACROS100).

Awww...so tiny package and so thin seals - but cost a lot ('cuz of dollar exchange rate in Ukraine)

Kodak Portra 160

Started in November '14 and finished in March '15. Camera used: Nikon FM2n.
Never thought that winter would be so boring for taking photos. Anyway, it's very good film, and not for portraits only. It reminds me fuji's pro 400h, but a little less vivid (maybe just because at winter all colors are less colorful :I ).

My favorite Audio-Technica's headphones ATH-ES700 because of sound and design

Micro-Nikkor 55mm f3.5

Owww yeahhh. Got this! Ultra-sharp lens.At least I'll finish Portra 160 on my Nikon FM2n which is in camera from autumn '14. I love how deep putted lenses into body.

 

New lens for my Nikon

At least something new for my FM2n. Nikkor 35/2.8 AiS. I'd read about that lens: most users prefer f2 version of this 35mm lens. But I'll enjoy f2.8 for sure. Still shooting on Kodak's Portra 160.

In my plans to "exchange" my Nikkor 50/1.8 to 50/1.4.
