A couple of shots from my last Missouri trip. Both with an Olympus OM1, but I didn't keep track of the lenses I used. Film was APX100.
Scott, if I recall correctly, you posted that you exclusively use digital & 35mm now. Every time I get a comment derrogatory to 35, your work, Tony Lockerbie's are what I point to. If that doesn't do it, Bresson, Kertez, etc. I hope young students are wearing down a path to your door, willing to wash the car, sharpen the pencils, make the coffee - to get to see you work film. Its really superb.
Some of my younger photo-enthusiasts had never seen one before, so I had to snap a stack of photos of the ol' Beseler 45.
I appreciate it HiHo. I do shoot wet plate collodion in LF. However, I have been lately staying with my 5D and super tak 50mm. I just got back from Oahu after a week of being there and that's all I shot....Oh, nah, no students busting down my doors ;-)

Scott, those are just painful, they're so good.
Super Tak (Pentax super takumar?) THESE shots are 35mm? Ohh. My head hurts!

Scott, do you ever talk about/divulge your processing? Do you mind questions?
This is a bit weird. I looked up the super tak, confirmed it likely refers to the pentax 50. The weird part is that I have an old Honeywell Spotmatic Pentax - so I had to go look at the lens. Yup. 1.4 Its absolutely clear I need to put a roll through that keepsake. It was an Aunt's camera that stunned me as a child - with how cool it looked. That's what got me interested in photography originally. If that lense is all that's said about it - it would be worth buying a camera that mounted it if this old honeywell Pentax isn't healthy. Very weird. Other people make finds like that (in their closet no less)- not me.
One more that is worth sharing.
