Well I think you are certainly giving Minox justice.

Thank you both for your kind words. I really prefer to have film developed and scanned commercial (developed because I just don't like developing films all though I can and scanned as I feel they do a better job).
I'm working on my mirrorless film scanning set up but I'm still not happy with it. At the end of the day it's a camera with a macro lens so not rocket science but even so I always feel it could and should be better.
Anyway thanks again for your support and all the others who clicked like.
 
A walk on the Caledonian Canal yesterday to further trial 1:100 510 Pyro, this time with Fomapan 100. While the stain on the negs isn't quite what I was expecting, it has certainly put more intensity in the clouds than I would normally expect with a yellow filter on the day. Nikon F80, Tamron 28-75, yellow filter.

#1 Lord of the Highlands cruise ship, designed to fit through the canal locks.

I had a look at that, Fraser, turns out there are more scratches and blemishes than I can point a mouse at! At least two horizontal white lines (ignoring the strange random white lines that I have now taken out of my copy), a whole bunch of vertical black lines, and a LOT of not-quite-horizontal banding in the sky. I think I'll leave it at "quite nice though flawed"!
 
A couple of months back I took my Pentax Auto 110 for a walk with me around Cambridge. The film is Tiger 200 which seems quite grainy and has "off" colours by my estimation. That said there are so few 110 films I supose I should be pleased to have it.
It's a fun camera to use but in spite of its small size it does attached a lot of attention when you hold it up to your eye!
Obviously not the best quality images but not bad for 110 format.

If shooting 4x5 then a box of 100 8x10 paper will cost £62 and yield 400 4x5 negs at 15.5. Pence per sheet. By contrast FP4+ is about £2 per sheet and Fomapan 100 is about 76p per sheet.

The welcome reduced cost per shot aside, you have mastered the technique of using paper negatives and do get some wonderful results.
