It's what makes anyone better at what they do, and I could really use some at times. Like every time I take a camera out, since lately it's been long periods between usage.
Case in point, I put a third roll through the Leica M4-P last November after loading it wrong on the previous roll. At least I'm doing better with exposures, which may be more a function of accurate speeds on the shutter compared to a lot of my other cameras (especially the Soviet made ones).
This roll has a wide range of subjects since I was concentrating more on checking the rangefinder accuracy, and some other lenses I'd not used before. And I must say the scans I get with the FP-4+ are better looking than with Delta 100.

Re: Practice
Practice is always good, but I know what you mean about shaking the rust off. Seems like I'm always coming back after a gap to find I've half-forgotten everything. Looks like you're remembering pretty well, though!

These practice shots look good! I like especially the C-10 Cowboy and the old Ford 1957. An uncle had one of those Fords a long, long time ago.
I have never shot a M Leica but I can see your point about practicing.
Why would FP4+ scan better than Delta 100? This is intriguing.

I think it has something to do with the grain structure, Julio. And to me, Delta has a bit more contrast than FP4+.Julio1fer wrote:These practice shots look good! I like especially the C-10 Cowboy and the old Ford 1957. An uncle had one of those Fords a long, long time ago.

Re: Practice
I will try to shoot one FP4 and compare, when I started FP4 and HP5 were the only ones I knew.
