Besides taking my recently acquired Mamiya C220f out for it's first adventure with me, I am still trying out new film emulsions that have been released in the past few years now that I am back to shooting film. Last night I went into San Francisco and in this shot, I'm with what is left of the tourists at Fisherman's Wharf at 10:30 at night. This shot was taken with my second try with Ilford's Delta 3200 Professional and I am quite pleased with the results. My first roll of this high speed film wound up about 2 stops thin as the batteries in my meter were in need of being replaced (I need to put a reminder in my BlackBerry to swap out the zinc air batteries every six months). I scanned this negative at 3200dpi and at full size the grain was very noticible, but at this smaller size, it is extremely acceptable. While I don't know how often that I'll be needing 3200 speed black and white film, I would not have any hesitation with loading up a roll of Ilford Delta 3200 Professional. I really like the classic look this shot has and you that can't tell whether it was shot yesterday or fifty years ago.

Lens: Mamiya-Sekor 80mm f/2.8 S w/Seiko #0 Shutter
