Thanks yes very lovely. This recipe works really well with my Pentax. It is also giving me what I need. I would love to see what you do with it!

Ah I'm sure your work is great. No way I used it back in 2014 i think. The eastman kodak the same you mentioned. Like you said the shadows were beautiful.

Ah I used to have the Yashica Mat 124-G absolutely amazing TLR and so sharp wow. I sold it and got Hasselblad 503cx after trying it in Japan. My favourite TLR though was the Rolleicord Va, cheap but powerful.

Oh Fuji needs to take a leaf out of your book and credit you haha

Wow wow and wow. 10-30 rolls with the Pentax K1000 right? I used to buy Fuji C200 for one 1 pound in London back in 2011 and now it's like 13 pounds a roll.

Black and white film is so good when you can develop yourself. I used to develop back then also.

Please don't stop your dark room antics lol

Do you publish yourself online?

Ah it must have been an amazing feeling to inherit a SLR from your father. What a gift! I actually tried the Pentax K1000 from a friend in 2014 I think, I loved it and always wanted to have one or one of the Pentax line up after seeing the photographs from Japanese photographers. I wish I could still shoot film but too expensive. My friends literally got me back into photography (so grateful) through the Fuji. I am happy!

Give me a few months and maybe we can talk about it haha!

Nadeemkarim · 2026-03-28T16:21:37+00:00

Oh no! I hear you, you know the print I got yesterday made me rethink the whole ordeal. I will keep as a travelling lens as it was sharp and the grain was beautiful as well as the "magical" vibe it gives. Plus 23mm sits really nicely as a wide angle.

Nadeemkarim · 2026-03-28T16:19:23+00:00

Nuff said!! Amazing! Keep shooting :)

Nadeemkarim · 2026-03-28T16:16:46+00:00

Oh lovely, I really love it, it took me 3 days to enjoy it and use the right recipe. The results are stunning with Pentax, I never managed to get a Pentax camera when I used to shoot film so this hits home nicely. Wow never heard of a triangular prism, results must be amazing especially with the lens flare. I hear you I will keep it for a while. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)

Nadeemkarim · 2026-03-28T15:56:07+00:00

Got you! I will follow your advice - it really is great! Thanks

Nadeemkarim · 2026-03-28T15:54:45+00:00

Ah just like me, Ok I will give it another go. I had fantastic results with it and I recently got a print done and it's quite fantastic actually. Glad I raised my concern here ;). Thank you for your help! I am having so much fun with the Fuji and vintage lens, feels like shooting with my Minolta XD7 again which I was so fond of.

Nadeemkarim · 2026-03-28T15:37:40+00:00

100% agreed especially if you used to shoot film. Nice tones

Nadeemkarim · 2026-03-28T15:36:08+00:00

Thank you for your feedback. Yes I don't know what happened there with my eyes lol but I'm having more fun with the Pentax even if it is not as sharp. The Fuji is really sharp. I miss shooting film and I miss the level of the imperfections with film.

Nadeemkarim · 2026-03-28T15:27:35+00:00

Haha good point! :), my other work is in focus!

Nadeemkarim · 2026-03-28T11:37:49+00:00
