Agfa 100 35mm Film : Castle Chat (2)

I have been shooting with 35mm black and white film using my vintage lenses and some vintage cameras from my collection

Film : Agfa Photo APX 100 Professional
Film Speed : ISO 100
Camera : Pentax ME (1970's)
Lens : Pentax SMC 28mm f3.5
Negative : Photographed on my lightpad using a Sony A6000 with an Industar N61 53mm prime lens and extension tube and converted from negative to positive using GIMP photo editor

This is a couple of young students having a chat in the grounds of Newark Castle. I shot the same shot with my Sony A7 and although when you zoom in this doesn't have the fine detail of a DSLR image, it does have a lovely feel and mood.

The Sony A7 / Tamron photo can be seen here

Just to summarise the technical bit above, I've shot some black and white film with a vintage camera, got it developed and then photographed the negatives on a lightpad, using a Russian vintage lens.

Oh and the film was developed for me by Eddie from our camera club. An octogenarian who knows everything about film photography and processing. Eddie is going to develop all my 5 films and I've given him a Pentax 50mm prime lens from my collection (a duplicate lens)
I thought this looked familiar!

The film gives a lovely quality to the stonework and the light through the window.
