For an upcoming episode John provided the gang with some fourth-party M42 lenses to test out to see how well they actually worked. I'm rather impressed at how well the lens I ended up with, the Sun Auto 85-210mm f/4.8 turned out. I'm sure it would do better in a camera that could actually stop it down and I ended up shooting this wide open the whole time because Zenit E. Over all there's little to no fall off on the corners, a bit of flare if I wasn't careful. But lovely sharp lens.

Having owned both the ME and the ME Super before, I'm glad to get my hands on one for review. While it doesn't look like much the ME Super is a k-car of a camera, it does the job it just isn't that flashy!

Nikon rocks down to electric avenue with their first dive into a semi-automatic electronic SLR with the Nikkormat EL. First released in 1972 as a direct response to the rise of semi-automatic SLRs being released elsewhere. The camera would eventually evolve into the Nikon FE later in the decade. A solid well built and familiar SLR that begs to be used.

I think TMax Developer actually made the film softer on the edges, gone are the razor sharp images from Rodinal, instead, a subtle shift, still sharp, but not in your face. It's a rather pleasing look.

The OM goes down to electric avenue! The OM-2n is the updated version of the original OM-2 that took the chassis of the OM-1 and updated it with semi-automatic exposure and electronics and an innovating metering system that made the metering reading right off the film plane in automatic mode. Plus the lenses are no slouch either! Combine all that in a compact fun to use package, and you have a winner.

As many who know me know, I have a bit of an issue getting the results I like out of Retro 80s, at least until I souped in Microphen, there's a certain ethereal look about the images, the Yellow Filter probably helped.

I've never had any issue with RPX 100 in any developer, but to be honest I think the stock sings in D-76, the contrast is rich, the tones are perfect, and the grain is fine. Not bad for a baseline.

A bit on SPUR and Moersch Fotochemie
I highly recommend everyone to try B&W chemicals of SPUR and Moersch Fotochemie, two of the most respectable photo chemistry (boutique) houses in the world.
SPUR: spur-photo.com/
Moersch: www.moersch-photochemie.de/content/lang:en
FYI, I bought them from Maco Direct. You can order from their own websites too. Next plan is to buy and try:
(1) SPUR's UFP universal developer , the latest developer, released in Photokina 2014 : spur-photo.com/kostenguenstige-profiqualitaet-der-univers...
(2) SPUR's Modular UR New developer: Made especially for those super high resolution B&W negatives like Adox CMS 20 II, Agfa Copex Rapid, Rollei ATP 1.1, etc. : spur-photo.com/datenblatt-spur-modular-ur-new/. From what I have seen so far, the results are outstanding.
Note: See SPUR's English section (spur-photo.com/some-information-in-english/) for information (datasheet and development tables) on 'UFP', 'Modular UR New', and other wonderful developers. SPUR's blog is worth reading as it contains lots of interesting information on B&W photography.
(3) Finol - the latest staining developer from Moersch. (www.moersch-photochemie.de/content/shop/negativ/93) I hope Moersch's will be equally impressive.
Ah yes, might as well go back to where it all started, the Maxxum 7000 the first popular Autofocus SLR for the masses, doing away with things like knobs and dials and a shutter and advance that sounds like it's cheering everytime you fire a shot.

In the case of RPX 400 and Kodak D-76, you end up with a solid baseline of how the film should look, and while there's nothing bad about the combo, nothing is surprising or exciting about them either, they look rather normal, and that can be a good thing.

Honestly, I didn't have much hope for this film, with limited information online and not seeing any examples, I was expecting a grain fest, don't ask me why it's what my gut said. However, I was instead treated with a rich film with amazing tonality decent grain sharpness. An excellent first showing.

When Rollei makes a compact 35mm camera they do it right, proven in the Rollei 35 lineup. Now, mine is a later Singapore model, but it still shines. However, that doesn't mean the camera is without its faults, it's incredibly frustrating to load, rewind, and the scale focus doesn't help. But when it does work, it's magic.

While I'm usually a fan of HC-110, in this case, I think the timing is off just a smidge, maybe 15-30 seconds. But you still get the deep chrome feel of Retro 80s that we all know and enjoy.

Okay, so here's where I met with a surprise. I did not expect these images to turn out this good! Not only do we have fine grain, but sharpness, not to mention a rich contrast and tonal range. These look more like Reversal rather than Negative.

By far not my favourite combo, but there could be a few factors in on this one, there wasn't too much open sunlight and the grain is terrible even with it being IR film and being shot at ASA-12.
