I'm sure I'm only the latest of many who have picked up this legendary little compact, zone-focus camera. But we don't seem to have an image thread, so here goes! Please add your own thoughts and/or images, if you like.

Film notes: HP5+ developed in the Ars Imago Lab-Box in Rodinal 1:25 for 6 minutes, scanned with the Pacific Image XAs.

Third roll I've shot, some excessively curly Tri-X developed in Rodinal 1:50. Rodinal's known to not be great with Tri-X or other higher speed films, as it goes to town on grain. I actually like the way HP5 looks in Rodinal when pushed, but I'm inclined to think people are right when they say Tri-X isn't a good match. Incidentally, it's the second roll of Tri-X that I've ever shot, and I'm still not sold on it. Also, these negatives looked a little dense. Could have developed a little longer I think.

Having fun with the camera though!

One of the last rolls of my (scratched and bungled) hand-rolled Fomapan 200. I tried a different agitation technique this time, agitating every 30 sec instead of 1 min for 6 total minutes (Rodinal, 1:25). I think it developed this film more completely. The first image is guesstimating (with decent accuracy) the minimum distance of the scale-focus lens at 0.8m.

Sunny weather and Arista 100, AKA Fomapan 100. Some cross-posted elsewhere.

Next one was with the focus tab set unwittingly to 0.8m, the closest focus setting. Gotta say, the lens has good bokeh!

Some color for a change. Color film definitely shows more of the charming attributes of this quirky camera. This was either Kodak Gold 200, the new Fuji 200 (which may just be Gold 200) or perhaps Lomo 100. I can't locate the negatives at the moment, and failed to notate the film in my folder name on my PC. I neglected doing any edits or JPEG exports from the scans I made. I had a local lab process the film as negatives only.
