These images were taken in 1966 at Cape Town Docks. It was a dull, rainy day and I used Eastman motion picture folm rated at ISO 400 in Acufine (nominally ISO 80) in a Nikon F fitted with a Nikkor-H 50mm f2 lens. The negs have not fared well in storage and there are some scratches and dust marks, but I think the subject matter is more important than worrying about a few scratches. You can view all of the images here:

Great series, the dust and scratches add to the image for my eye in this case, rather than detracting. Thanks for sharing.

You've been around, well worth the look.
Used Acufine with Ilford HP4 Plates, 400 ASA, when shooting Rugby/Football on dreary November days, about 3pm. Ed.
To each his own!

I like the texture of the photos. Maybe it's a part of using film. They look archived. That's what I like about them.
Nikon D3100 with Tokina 28-70mm f3.5, (I like to use a Vivitar .43x aux on the 28-70mm Tokina), Nikkor 10.5 mm fisheye, Quanteray 70-300mm f4.5, ProOptic 500 mm f6.3 mirror lens. http://donschaefferphoto.blogspot.com/

Don, if I could still obtain my favorite "proper" films (not some approximation re-branded as such) Tri-X, Verichrome Pan, Plus-X pro, FP3, I would still be shooting film.
