Quote from James Warner on June 5, 2021, 2:11 amJust got these rolls developed and was really excited with the results. After trying a bunch of film I've decided Kodak Tri-X is my favorite for portraits. Anything with people. For other stuff it feels too contrasty, but I think the contrast works well with people's skin tones.
Just a few of my favs.
All these were shot on my SMC Pentax 50mm f1.2 at f1.2. I was surprised that I got 70% of the shots in focus. That's actually not far off from a 50mm f1.4 for me 😛
