There's life in the old dog yet!

I got a B&W film back after running it through this old beast the
other day. I'm not going to lie to you, they came out shit. None the
less, I am scanning some in and will post them soon. Now the main
problem is that they are either way out of focus, or I was moving a
bit. I shot hand held, so I may have miscalculated the shutter speed
and it is a lot slower than the 1/125 I estimated. Or perhaps I didn't
wind the film tight. Either way, it's a learning curve. I'm going to
run colour next time, and use a tripod, see where that gets me. I was
excited to see the physical size of the neg is more than double that
of my medium format! More to follow...
