First shot doesn't show for me either, but the Flickr link works fine.

Lovely shots!

Excellent ++++, few scuffs, won't affect picture

A TLR rangefinder, can't be too many of them!

I've shot another test roll in the Minox III, and I think I've worked out what was causing the horizontal scratches. Was it the slitter or was it the 3D printed cartridges, or was it the camera? Having spent a little while with some fine sandpaper, and the scratches becoming "less bad", I'...

... Foma 100 has gray background, right? +3 means exposing like ASA 25? or 12? It's a slightly grey background, about the same as FP4 / HP5, but not as clear as Adox HR50 or Rollei Superpan 200. +1 would be EI50, +2 would be EI25, etc. Given the rather extreme scenes - blacks and shiney chrome, I'd...

Look forward to seeing some more of your LF shots.

I just cropped this. I did shoot it on the iPhone first though using an app called 65x24 to check the composition first. So, shot with the crop in mind.

I'd like to see some shots from your 4x10!

Well, this time I managed to remember to take the focussing aid, made easier by the fact that there is a) room in the bag, and b) the focussing screen on the MPP is waaay brighter than the one on the old 9x12cm Zeca. The downside is that the MPP weighs a wee bit more than the Zeca. I headed north fr...
