Lots of us have some compelling documentary or "street" (whatever that means) images captured on film media, either recently or in the past. Here's a place to post some of these that you think fits in with the forum theme.

I'll start with a couple of examples.

Market day, western Ireland, 1972

Very nice photos.

I have one small 5x7 print from film I did not destroy that I would consider decent. No access to a scanner though. If I photographed it with my x-t2 would that work...? I'm thinking maybe not but IDK. I have a 23mmf 2 and also 18-55... maybe 55mm! Only 30cm close focus distance though whereas I believe the 23 is 10cm aprox.

I also have 5cm macro mode on my lx100 24-75mm range at 12mp.

If you had only one what would you choose if it would even work in carrying across any kind of fidelity..?.

A friend has a Nikon attachment for FX lenses for doing that with negatives and slides but he doesn't live nearby and anyhow mine is a print.

Cheers
 
My bet would be on the lx100. Unless you get set of cheap extension tubes for the Fuji (then shoot manual).

Mid 1970's in the days when smoking was allowed in coffee shops, bars etc. Leica M4 with a 35 mm lens, negative copied using a Nikon camera

..have seen this many times even though you only posted it once and a long time ago. Is an astonishing photograph, have never forgotten it. Is amazing and just as fresh to see it again.

I hope the negative is safe, it should be preserved and shared as many times as I had stared at it

1991 Vienna, 10.Bezirk
Oh wow.

am trying to pick a favourite, I just can't. If I was forced under lights and with current applied to body parts, I would have to say #3 but then then they would shock me again because I would change my mind and say #1 and #2 ..and #4 and #5

Gee these are good.

Wow they're officially old enough to be archival. I mean the world just does not look like that anymore. It;s good they are captured. Makes em wonder will people really look at our current street photos and think they look like another era in 48 years time from now? And how different will they look?
