Developed in Ilford Ilfosol S at 1:9, 8½ mins at 20°c.

I’ve recently acquired a Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro lens for use with my small (but inexplicably growing!) collection of Minolta Dynax/Maxxum SLR cameras. It’s a beautiful lens but as yet I’m still to get the best out of it… more practice is called for I think!

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8 and Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.
