and when I do I really enjoy it, looking forward to shoot more this year.
These were processed with in home developing, scanned using a Epson V550 photo scanner.
some touch up in Lightroom or Luminar AI.
I learn something every time a shoot a roll, my hope is to get good at it.
The camera used here was a Minolta X-700 with a Minolta 50mm f/1.7, this lens is nothing less than awesome on my Fuji X-t3 and my Sony ar7II.
Super!!! I'm another one who uses film, 35mm to 4x5. Jobo processors and Epson scanners with LaserSoft drivers.

Those of you using any negative film who also happen to have Adobe Lightroom 6.14 or Adobe Lightroom CLASSIC 10.1 should know about a great plug-in called Negative Lab Pro.
I gladly paid about $100 for it two years ago, and find it invaluable for speeding up the conversion to B&W or Color positives. It uses some of the most advanced high-end photo lab scanner algorithms from Noritsu and Fujifilm to evaluate and convert your images. It can be used one of two ways:
> Scan a negative as a negative to a 16-bit per color channel TIFF file, and convert in LrC using NLP.
> Macro photograph a negative in raw file format and convert in LrC using NLP.
https://www.negativelabpro.comIt works equally well for color or blank-and-white conversions, although most folks buy it to get decent color from problem negatives. I've used it to convert Kodacolor negatives from 50+ years ago, with decent results, except for film dyes fading due to storage conditions.
As I have all my B&W negs from my youth, I'm slowly macro photographing them and converting them. I plan a show — for my 50th high school reunion — of images I made for our 1969 to 1973 yearbooks. (We were the last class to go to my school for all six years, grades 7-12.) These images look better than anything I could print in a darkroom back then, with my limited budget.

Johnny, excellent and I miss shooting film, somewhat. You did great and I wish I still had my setup that I sold back when my x got it all. Shooting our new cameras in B&W is not the same.

Nice selection! I'm a big fan of editing the digital scans in LR as the film (my film) is never 'finished' just from the scanning.

I have the Minolta 50mm f/1.7 and use it on my Sony A580's. So small, light and tack sharp.
These are great. The padlock was a wonderful idea.
Very, very nice. Job well done.

Thanks Bill, I have looked at it sometime back but haven't pulled the Triger.
