Zeiss Ikon Nettar + Ilford Pan F Plus test shots

I got these shots back from the Ilford lab a few weeks ago but have been so busy I've not had time to do anything with them.  Overall I'm pretty impressed.  I struggled with the focusing on several of the close up shots and portraits so must get onto eBay and see if I can find a suitable rangefinder.  The portraits were also all shot indoors in really gloomy lighting - not the best for a 50 ISO film such as this, so my guess if that at least some of the blurriness is down to movement.  The group shot was done with my Ziess tripod and a modern cable release.  The tripod was fine once I got it on the carpet but a slippery devil on the laminate floor.

My scanner was having trouble recognising the medium format negatives so these shots are scanned from Ilford's prints.  No editing other than cropping and rotating has been done.
