I really love the way your photos came out and I think you composed your shots wonderfully. I really miss shooting Tri X Pan. I used to shoot a lot of it in my F2 before I sold it a few years ago. Did you develop yourself or did you take it somewhere and have it develop it? I used to load it in bulk using a Watson model 100 and reusable film cartridges. Its hard to emulate the look of Tri X Pan using Photo Shop I applaud your work. It makes me want to go out and buy another film camera.

I just shot 3 rolls of T-max 100 120. I am really looking forward to getting them developed.

I am glad to see others taking great shots with film.

Ohhhhh...the litte Rollei 35's were soooooo cool ! As a boy I really had my heart set on a 35-B, but I could never afford one...I was stuck shooting old Kodaks and Arguses and Ricohflexes and things like that...I loved that collapsible lens and the uber-simple minimalist style look of the Rollei 35's. Looks like time has been kind to the Rollei you are lucky to own. It still appears to shoot well!

Awww, cute: photos taken with a Rollei 35 - that one was the first camera I owned!
Mine's been broken for long, though: sand got in it and the lens no longer moves in, out, in any way. Hmph...
You took some good photos with your little camera! I prefer the ones with the structures only to the one with the people in it.

Very clean, crisp and sharp photos. I have an old Voigtländer Vitomatic that I like to keep in regular use. It's a shame not to use these old classics as the glass is often so much better than the modern kit lenses: the results speak for themselves.
