B&W Ensign Selfix 16-20 Model 1 with Ensar Lens. Fomapan 200

Interesting set of images. They seem to include "artifacts" that I have found on my Fomapan 200 images (from 120 film).
Coincidentally, I'm trying to finish a roll in my new-to-me 16-20 (Rosstar lens) today. I hope that they come out as well as yours, but as it is also a Fomapan 200 roll, maybe I should I expect some similar artifacts.
 
Very nicely done Keith.

Have you spotted the black and white photos thread? I think it's mostly digital but I'm sure people would appreciate you showing us how it should be done :D

B&W - Let's see your Black and White photos

Hello, Recently I started to do more and more Black and White photos and I like the "soul" that Black and white could bring to the eye. I think that it is a good idea here everyone to be able to share what he create, the moments that we are able to capture in Black and White. Everyone has a...

Those came out well, and are nicely composed. I must put some film through mine!
 
I thought at first the artifacts were dust, but dust on negs scans as white, so this must be from the dodgy batch of Fomapan 200 I read about where somethin goes on with the emulsion. Now that I have a scanning solution I am keen to try out some Ilford stock. Thanks for the kind comments.

I think in your place I'd call it added character :D
 
I've never done very well with Formapan I always get strange marks and scratches they are processed by professional labs, as a cheap film I've always done better with Kentmere by Ilford.
That said other than the few bits on the first ones they look fantastic.
 
I was GIVEN 2 of those Ensign Selfix;s with ENSAR lens then also one with 'Rosstar' I get those 'black strands' on edges which are in the Film Gate NOT FOMA Film trouble . I have never had trouble with FOMA Pan 200 on the few rolls I have tried BUT now the ROSSTAR Selfix has developed Bellows Pin Holes which I have tried to cover with Matt Black Paint - what a shame . I did get a 20x16" Exhibition Print off the ENSAR lens on outdated ORWO NP22 film , processed and darkroom printed by myself and won the Landscape / Seascape/ Skyscape Trophy at Brentwood Photographic Club with it. ( Can't AFFORD 20x16 Paper any more !! )

I watched your video shortly after I was given this camera, Peter. I understand there was a bad batch of Fomapan 200 and I was unlucky to get a roll from it. I am going to try a different film in the camera and I am looking forward to seeing what happens.
