She's not a very good goth ?

Is there a gathering on the weekend prior? Last year it was around Halloween.

This is another shot from the same roll of film and I think this demonstrates more graphically the fine DOF and grain texture that is achievable.

Perhaps your lab scanned at a higher resolution, and output the files at 300dpi. That would be too low a res to scan something as small as a negative.

Yes this may be the case. I'm sorry but I don't have any experience of scanning negatives, but the chap in the shop did mention 300dpi and they would be suitable for printing up to A3.

As for Photoshop I just cropped, tweaked levels and repaired any dust marks. The images didn't need a lot of work which is why I was very impressed with the results from the camera.

One thing that did strike me, and as others have mentioned is the extreme DOF.

Chris - I am told they were done at 300 dpi. Don't know when they cut the film.

Chris, I don't have a scanner so I paid for them to be done at a local photography shop in Ilkley. I would assume they have a commercial quality piece of kit and at £3 for a roll of film I am happy for them to do it.

They were scanned at 300 dpi

Well the thing is Nigel I am not sure but I have also thought about it. Perhaps anyone with experience of Silverex etc could shed some light.

However, as I said these results have really got me interested in using film again, I love the quality you get with it.
I have also noted that these have turned out pretty grainy for a 125 asa film.

Thanks alien, I was aiming for the dog tags

Thanks Andrew.

Chris, negs were scanned in and I worked on them a little in Photoshop.

Got my ME Super down from the loft and took a few portraits of friends and family.
I was very impressed with the depth of contrast and grain - I think it makes digital look a little bit sterile in comparison, so I'm going to keep on using this camera for B/W work, I had forgotten what great results film can give.

All shot on FP4 with 50mm f1.7 lens.
