First of all, most these images are really good.

Second, is that fungus on the lens? If so, make sure you don't store that lens with your other cameras lest the fungus migrate.

Third, what film is this?

thanks!

yes I believe it is a fungus. I've heard it can be cleaned off with ammonia, but I'm bringing it to a camera shop before I do anything to it.

It's just Kodak BW400CN I bought at Walgreens

Good call on the camera shop. Let the experts figure it out.

So.... how did it handle? Is it a transcendent photography experience or what?

it was fun. I have to get better with my metering, but now that I've seen the results , I see what I need to do. I learned the camera's little quirks by the time I was done. I'm actually more impressed that my focus was good on most of these.

The biggest thing is learning discipline. I shot a few forgetting to meter... one I metered but forgot to change my shutter, I learned how to load film the hard way....etc. I also learned that you re a lot more invisible without all the gear and big honkin' DSLR strapped around your neck.

I had fun, but I hope the lens funk thing can be fixed, or I can't see me using this again without a different lens.
