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

A bit of an ‘oops!’ moment here… This roll of film was finished back in March but had been lurking in the camera, forgotten, since October 2018!

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, pixl-latr and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

Canon EOS 5, Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM at 28mm, 1/90s, f8 – Ilford Delta 400 Professional
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.

Another image from the first roll of film through my charity shop find Canon EOS 5.

I loved how the sunlight (remember that?) projected the lettering on the door of the Wellington Hotel onto the doorframe. I’m not so keen on the obvious barrel distortion at the wide end of my Canon EF 28-135mm lens though…

Waterfront buildings on the River Wensum in Norwich, photographed on an unseasonably warm 18 March this year… also the very first image from a charity shop find Canon EOS 5, a camera I coveted in the early 1990s when using a Canon EOS 1000FN.
