Post your favorite shot from your most recent roll

I've a number of Minolta and Pentax film cameras that I enjoy using, but I'll have to say my absolute favorite is the Minolta XD-11. It's a product of Minolta/Leica engineering and it shows it. It's like using a concert instrument. Took these pics of a transplanted Scotsman at our local creek. He's a Scot, the little girl is Asian, and the woman who was with them, but standing too far back for the photo, was a 6ft+ blond. They moved on before I could get them all in a frame. We have a very large University in the area with more than 60,000 students/researchers/teachers and it's not uncommon to see them walking around in their "native" attire. The film was Lomo100 and the lens was a Tamron 70-300 tele-macro. I've included the original plus the cropped/slightly edited(noise) version.

Nice. I do as well. The pace and process of making the image is better for me. It is very challenging to duplicate it with digital. I also love hoarding the exposed roles and developing them at a much later date. I mostly buy 100 ft. rolls of TriX and create short rolls for weekly challenges as well as full rolls. I dedicate one 100ft roll or short rolls (12) and one for full. I buy color in bulk, I use Fujifilm Xtra 400 and Kodak Portra 400.

HC110, Rodinal are my developers for B & W. Arista C41 liquid is what I am using now for color.

Speaking of developing film at a later date, I have a huge backlog that I need to start working on. In the meantime, I'm focusing on instant film to get myself out of my rut.

From my latest pack of Fujifilm Instax Wide:

Test roll from my Minolta XE-7 and Lomo100/70-210 "beercan". I was also carrying my new Yashica MAT-124G and shot the same subjects with them both(shown separately). Pics are of some of the structures at the Mt. Etna Iron Furnace near Williamsburg, PA. The furnace operated from 1795-1873. Shots are of the Mule Barn, Women's Dormitory, Furnace, Men's Dormitory, a Pourman's Cabin.

Neat piece of history you have there..I love those beercan lenses. I have both, 35-70 f4, 70-210 f4. They really are very good optically.
 
Had to look that one up. Neat, good looking old camera, and does pretty well also. Mike Butkus lists a user's manual, just on the off chance you don't have one.
