Yama:

A lovely photo that demonstrates why so many of us still prefer film.

Please keep taking such great shots!

Took me five months to get all of my gear in order and what not, and I
finally developed my first roll of Tri-x this past week. Tri-X rated  
at ASA
2000, developed in XTOL 1:1 20C 3x agitation every 45 seconds. Shot  
with an
M6ttl and Summicron 35/2 v3 (Thanks SonC!)

My favorite shot from the roll:

Also, I seem to notice that Vuescan is so much more forgiving on the
highlights and shadows than Nikon Scan is, without any fidgeting done
beforehand.

Needless to say, I'm so glad to be a film convert. This is so much  
more fun
:)

Thanks to all of those that supported me and helped me get to this  
spot! I
know I asked a lot of questions, and I appreciate everyone's time!  
Remember
when I asked for that Summicron v3 or v4 way back when? ;)
