Very nice work especially considering it's film. It's fun to think about the film days but I'm sure if I was forced to go back to film I would hate it. You don't have to be conservative with digital. You don't have to worry about how many shots are left on a roll. I think the only thing bad about digital is that nobody prints anymore.

Looking back on film, it made me be precise with exposure,development time, etc.
With Kodachrome the margin of error was about one stop for exposure. So bracketing was popular on Kodachrome. What you thought was the correct exposure and then bracket plus and minus. Kodak loved it. So for a 36 exposure roll, you hot 12 good images.

Funny you say that, I just printed a 13X19 about an hour ago!

I never did any of my own color processing. In medium format, 6x6 cm, I never shot color at all. Most of the color 35mm that I shot was on the later Nikons when I was in my 30s. These were very sophisticated with through the lens metering and gave pretty consistent results; 35mm for the masses.
On the high school and college newspapers, we loaded our own 35mm from bulk. I typically had all lengths of Tri-X for whatever the task might entail. You didn't want to have two jobs on the same roll and you didn't want to waste film and chemicals developing un-shot frames. The more I think about it, the more I'm pretty sure I don't miss film.

Thanks for the memories! Sometimes I wish I still had my old 500C, lenses, backs. Great pictures, wonderful sharpness from the Zeiss lenses.

Paul, I agree and am exploring that using a digital back for the Hasselblad.

Years and years ago I used a Kodak b&w film SO115. Developed it ethol tech, 7 min 70°. Finding the grain was close to impossible. 36x24 prints were easily accomplished. Does anyone else know this film?

Not me. Sounds like you have fond memories.

I used Plus-X and Tri-X developed in Microdol X for 12 minutes at 68 degrees. Great results. Then again I also used Tri-x and developed in Acufine. There was plenty of grain but still was a great way of getting ASA 1200. I also was able to push Acufine and Tri-X to 10000 ASA, not so great results. Using bulk Tri-X was the only way to go then. Thank goodness for the new digital world.
