Wow, really amazing results from the 35mm, Chris. The tones are so supple. The second is my favorite as the composition grabs a hold of the the tightest. Glad to see you enjoying the M2 kit!

Pan F and HC-110 is a really nice combination - the Pan F sucks up lots of light and I'm finding that HC-110 is turning into my favourite developer. Generally low grain and quite catholic in the range of films it gets along with. I'm afraid I haven't touched the Rodinal for quite a while! One thing I learnt today, which you won't see, thankfully, in these 800 pixel shots, is that I can no longer hold 1/30 in a strong chilly wind. I could have used a faster shutter speed, but I wanted to use f16 and hyperfocal focusing to get as much in focus as possible. Live and learn.

F8 should be enough with 35mm, a little vague in the utmost foreground shouldn't do harm?

I' m also very enthusiastic about these captures, as with PanF in HC110; it gives a very special tonal range with an accent in the highlights without blowing them

I agree with Adam , Chris about your three pictures posted above.

Really nice b&w pictures with nice contrast, nice black tone ,nice grey tone , nice white tone

all in nuance ....  and well defined. :)

The frozen space is well reproduced with this reflection as in reality

I also agree about developer HC110 very practical and effective.

:) Absolutely agree. I've read quite a bit about film-based astrophotography (for instance there's a good book by Michael Covington, same guy who maintains the well-known HC-110 page; he's active over at Cloudy Nights too). Film-based astrophoto is a real challenge because of the extremely low (or is that high?) signal to noise ratio. And the best films are no longer made so it's a compromise. For widefield film's not as bad, esp if one uses a tracking system (which I have yet to buy). There are some people who use film also for deep sky, for instance James Cormier who shoots with a Pentax 67. But digital is easily, easily the best. An older digital camera is a good way to step into astro. Since I'm "long" in Canon gear from my pre-Leica days, I'm looking to get a used fullframe EOS.

 

Having said all that Philip, and Henry won't appreciate this, but digital is definitely waaaaaay easier, believe me. I normally use an old X-E1 for astro, ticks all/most of the boxes.

Tried using the Leica T, limited to hopeless, nothing over 30 seconds.

I'm a bit of an astronomy nut so finding myself in a dark(ish) site over Christmas I thought I should photograph the stars on Christmas Eve with the full Moon (first on Christmas Eve since 1977, I believe). Well, things don't always go as hoped. I knew the Moon would blow out and was OK with that because I wanted the stars to show so exposed accordingly. Well, that's a bit of an overstatement - I put the M4 on Bulb, pressed the cable release and counted to two. Or was it four? It certainly wouldn't have been more because the stars would have trailed. But that flare! Still, I think it adds a certain I don't know what to the image. Flaw, probably :)

I find extraordinary this picture.....

The more I look the more I find that there is something , mysterious, futuristic ....

Briefly , this photo marrying the moon, the sun and the stars represents what remains of the view from our land that seems  it's disappearing with the systematic destruction by humans of what our ancestors have left us in the name of profit  and the economy.

What it will remain for our future grand-children ... grand-grand children  ?

To meditate !

I have not tried Pan F but I do find that Acros 100 @ ISO 80 developed in 1:50 Rodinal gives me very smooth and subtle tonal gradation plus fine grain.   MP, 1967 Summaron 35mm f2.8.

Really nice Keith , beautiful tonality

Acros is also a nice film :)

Thanks for sharing

Following an accident during the autumn, my 50/1.4 Asph has been on a "retreat" in Wetzlar since November, but today it returned (and rather weirdly the sender is listed on the parcel as a "Herr Mandler"...). Here are two shots to celebrate this fantastic lens, though they clearly don't do justice to its abilities.

 

The background is that I went to Brussels quite regularly during 2014 to work on an EU project and once got stranded in Antwerp. These are two (unedited; just "developed" in ColorPerfect) shots from Antwerp Central, which architecturally is a very beautiful station (both TTL, 50/1.4 Asph and Superia 200 and Coolscan 9000).
