Took these for an exhibition at uni, all photos for the exhibition were taken through the Pentax SMC super takumar 50mm F1.4, everyone used their own cameras though. Anyway, I though this merc looked about the same vintage as the camera (ESII)and lens. I used Rollei Retro 100 film and developed in Paterson Aculux, these are scans from the 12X15" ish prints on Kentmere lustre paper.

Crit and comments are very welcome.

Nice car but they both need a hefty boost of contrast I think, the blacks look rather washed out here. The exhibition sounds interesting, is everyone using screwmount cameras?
