Just to get things started here, the battleship Alabama. Leica M6TTL, 50mm DR Summicron, Ilford FP4+.

Ralph: I'm a bit confused! Is this new forum replacing the two threads ("safe haven for tiny formats" and "MF B&W Film Images Sharing") currently in the Lounge?

Nice, I stop by the Alabama almost every year when I go to Biloxi, Mississippi, for Christmas. Here's one shot there with my Pentax 67 and 45mm lens about 4 years ago:

Essentially, yes. See the post in the News section about the changes.

Will the two threads merge or moved to this forum?

I agree, we seem to be getting too many requests to consider formats other then large format and some even asking to consider di******.
If I want to see those things I can go to the other sites.

Anybody have a Queen Mary image? I don't, but the documentary I just saw made me think it was the greatest of all 'battleships' from it's immense job of transporting 16,000 troops at a time to EU.

It also was faster than any U Boat or torpedo.

We are now waiting for LF digital to arrive with 4x5 or larger sensor.
