Thank you so much for your comments, I appreciate each and every one of them. Meanwhile one more Ilford-film has been filled (apart from the one that I am having here and yet have to scan) and two more regular colour Fuji ones (not even the best Fuji film) ... I must economise on the costs for processing just a bit, and black and white is almost 40 times dearer than having colour film processed :shock: !!! So I thought I might want to put in the colour film and get the print for 1 cent each, instead of 39 ct/print in black and white :shock: :er: .
Mysteryscribe, you are very right about the need to frame with care.
Being used to using a zoom lens, I also find it quite "retro" () having to step back or forward so and so many paces to get the frame I want instead of just zooming . Good and interesting experience.
About the ones you are seeing here I must say I really and honestly only tested the camera on whatever motif there was (hence the stairs PLUS the fence and the cars ... I would have zoomed those out if I had had the chance, for example ). I was also testing in how far it would be possible to bring out different greys for shades of green. Tuna has shown such nice black and white photos with perfect tones ... Trickier than I thought!
And :blushing: ... one more thing: only AFTER I had finished this roll did I ask my sister "By the way, WHERE does that little 'finger' have to be? Before or behind the diagonal line? (That's me asking how to properly meter with that camera, you see?)" and she said: "Hey, no: they must form a perfect CROSS, then you got exposure right!" Ooops!
