Depends on what "usable" means, but if you are only getting one decent shot per hundreds, you have some really serious problems....
Wonderfully elegant (the use of gradients, especially)!
His look of resigned determination is what really makes it.
Is there a standard Cracker Barrel size? After all these years, I know them only from highway signs and their residents apparently believing that I or persons they would confuse with me are conspiring to change their logo. (They can keep it, so long as they leave Waffle House alone.)
Film is murder. Or at least, J-walking.
A remarkable combination of subtlety and drama - brilliantly done.
I have only seen it from a distance, alas....
A good chance to examine urban wildlife, in its natural habitat.
Wow, thanks! Very much appreciated!

Some slide film is never given the chance to truly thrive....
From the image, it looks like it will take a tsunami to lift those boats....
Indeed, it is worrisome. I think it's been down for at least a week. :-(
Tri-X is definitely more forgiving - TMX gets thin very quickly if underexposed. TMZ is less vulnerable to that, which is one reason that I find it more useful than the other T-Max films (though I do love TMX when it works). On a daily basis, I mostly shoot Kentmere or Aviphot - cheap and robust.
Interesting. I haven't run into that. May be an issue of dialing in one's settings.
As a heavy Kentmere user/abuser, I feel that. But Ultrafine Extreme is probably the same thing, so there's that.
I'd wonder how well it keeps, though if you use it as an everyday film that wouldn't be such an issue. A bit decadent, I suppose. (That said, I find D3200 to be too "mushy," at least in my hands...I get grain like oatmeal. I prefer P3200. But many do like it, and it's good to have options....)
Thanks! I shoot more cubic than tabular, but am personally a fan of TMX and TMZ. TMZ, in particular. The tonality you mention is one reason; it also has great acutance. The results look like a slower film in Rodinal, but I can shoot at EI 3200....
That is an incredible shot.
Hmm, yeeezzz: K200 in the snow, with XTOL. Shoot that in the woods, and f'n faeries are going to come out. Hopefully not unseelie ones.
Very cool.
It's good stuff. It really "glows" in XTOL, I find.
Lovely!

A good diner is a thing of beauty. Though it accelerates one's progress towards mortality.
Alas, the poor slide film, to be sacrificed thus! But at least it's E100, and not Fuji.
Excellent use of the medium!
Dangerously close.
They probably have something against Rodinal.

Nothing that a well-chosen rotation operator won't fix.
Thank you!
Thanks!
Thanks for the repost!
Excellent.
Yeah, I've used a few standard developers on it - but I did not find it especially outstanding as a conventional B+W emulsion. It also seems to me a bit expensive for that use. I have used it on the road in settings where my other film was C-41, and I wanted to mail everything to the lab en route.

True, I forgot all about that! I never used it. Even today, I only use XP2 occasionally. It's fine enough, but IMHO loses the control and subtlety that I can get with a conventional B+W process. (Not having to do endless editing of dust and crap from one's images, however, has a certain appeal.)
"Best" would be a stretch, but it has its charms....
Deco or death.
Not gonna lie - Portra 160 is a fine black and white film.

He smiles, but cannot, I think, be trusted.
Food of the ancients. Keeps the Tzitzimīmeh away.
Wonderful use of depth!
Probably not with cameras. But with film....
Absolutely! Life's too short to miss an opportunity.
Cell phone app. Given that you already have a cell phone, it's the cheapest option, and in my experience they do fairly well. When I use a different external meter, the reason is more vanity/not wanting to risk dropping the phone than accuracy.

That's not weird. That's just declining to be boring.
Wonderful textural and dynamic complexity.
Obsessing over the cameras is not sufficient. You must also, simultaneously, obsess over the film *and* the cameras - because they are interdependent. Only this way lies sufficient madness. Also, if you are bringing the Leica, bring a medium format folder; it's the pistol/shotgun combo you need.
Wonderful texture!
Unfortunately, the fungus is not tiny, and the hyphae seem to be multiplying. Some problems in the shooting.
It often feels like a waste, but I've definitely had images that were failing in color, and that were great in B+W. It does, however, feel pretty decadent to label one's B+W image with "Portra 800" or the like. One is tempted to make a "Velvia in Monochrome" series just for the horror factor.

I was editing some shots on it last night, and (as too often happens) got enthused enough to order a ton more rolls. So my money is certainly where my mouth is. Or, at least, my money went where my mouth was. :-)
Well, the occasional zombie curse is the price one pays....

Yes, I have an astoundingly high failure rate with those things (but then keep trying, because I refuse to submit to the authority of a metal canister). The "lick the film" trick usually works if that fails; it's crass, but, per Ferris Bueller, is sometimes necessary.
I am blessed with the dexterity of a rotten cabbage attached to an electrical outlet. But I can get by on a combination of cynicism and shutter speed.
I have found it quite salutary, though I've used it more in 120. In some ways a bit like XX, but smoother; it does well on micro-contrast, while having a somewhat bloomier overall rendering. (In XTOL, anyway.) Hard to tell if I like it more than K100, but it's an excellent film (IMHO).
Use the force.
Seeing negatives emerge from the tank will never, I think, not be magical.
Heh. I used to pry them apart, but these days I carefully pull the film and lovingly save the intact canister for bulk loading. This may imply that I have entered a phase of trash hoarding, but I prefer to interpret it as "sage frugality."
Thank you!
Thanks! The geometry called to me...
Very cool!
Very impressive at EI 400 - light levels can't have been high in there! You must have ultra-steady hands. (Not a bad superpower, as they go.)
To live, as a thinking being, is a choice. To make something of one's time, that is one's own, is a choice. Oblivion has always been an alternative, for those who have desired it - AI simply allows the dead to retain the appearance of the living.
Also, his captions are eyerolling. There should be some extra punishment for that.
