You don't see these on the street every day.

Olympus OM-2n and Zuiko 50/1.4. Kodak Ultramax 400 film. Processed in Rodinal.

I shot these on color film but I had trouble rewinding the film after I got to the end. (The rewind release on the OM-2n is a tiny button/lever on the front chassis of the camera that you push sideways and hold--unlike most film cameras which have button on the bottom that you push and hold.) I didn't hold the rewind release button well due to multitasking issues and I managed to break the film. (It felt strange but I thought the film was fully rewound.) I opened the back to reload, only to discover that the film had not beed rewound fully, and so I had exposed some to light.

Because the film was broken there was nothing to do except try to salvage what I could by processing in B&W chemicals. I use Rodinal.

The images were quite grainy. I removed the grain in Lr and applied a preset called "creamtone."

I rather like the second image below. I only included the front of the car for documentary purposes.

Anyway, I lost 5 or 6 frames due to my stupidity.

Well, that second shot makes it all worth while Brian - stunner

Love the final B&W tonality - creamy it is
