And a couple more. These were taken with a 1924 Box Brownie 2 on Ektar 100 and they are surprisingly good. I'll pop an extra couple into the Box Brownie thread in a mo.

I'm always amazed how those simple lenses give such good pictures.

My roll of HP5+ from the EOS 5 is developed and drying, I forsee a grain fest. Jobo reels behaved perfectly today so the hot wash and scrbbing worked. So 5 hours to watch gelatin dry.
 
Some lovely shots there Andy, although it's a somewhat bitter-sweet feeling when viewing them as I can't help thinking about the 36 photos I took but will never get to see. Still, I have the memory of a very enjoyable day out with some great company... and the benefit of seeing lots of photos without having to paying a penny for developing and scanning. See, there's always a silver lining if you look hard enough for it! :D

That last shot came out well, I think you should rename it 'Fire!' though. :) I'll be interested to see the other 3 versions of it. (y)
 
Got my negs back from AG today (only sent them on Friday afternoon, so not bad going), and here's what I got from the few I took with the 1950s Voigtlander Perkeo 6x6 folding camera on Ilford XP2:

A photo of the gardener again, pity he shoved his elbow in front of his face at the moment I pressed the shutter but I suppose it conveys a bit of movement to the shot.

The bus outside the bus terminus in the rain.

And finally, one of the cars in the motor museum taken with flash (one of those 'full power or nothing' manual jobs!).
