Have a great day,

Very nice. Loving the one with the statue.

Personally I'm not a fan of Tmax 400, I prefer Tri-X or HP5+

That was my next to last roll of Tmax, the last roll is waiting for me to mix some HC110. I just received 30 rolls of Arista. Pretty cheep film, just what I need to experiment. I have 10 rolls of ISO 100 and 20 rolls of ISO 400. Hopefully I will have time to shoot and process some this week.

The both photos were shot with a 25A red filter

I think Arista film is pretty good. That's Freestyle's house brand if I remember right. I know I've used it and had no regrets. I'm with Axle on Tmax, though. I never could get it to look right. I'm a Plus-X guy, although I haven't shot a ny for years. I'd shoot it at ISO 100 and then underdevelop it a bit. That gives you more shadow detail and more highlight detail - you really can have it all if you develop your own film

Did you know we have a dedicated film forum? You should post there, too. If you're actively experimenting with film then you should be talking with the other film nerds. Not that you shouldn't post on ViewFinder, too.

What camera and lens did you shoot these with?

I used my Mamiya 645 with the 80mm lens. I recently acquired the camera and now have a 45mm, 80mm and 210mm lens for it.

I was experimenting with a 25a red filter that day.
