Martin, I have watched this video three times. Every time I learn something new. You are an exceptional photographer and teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and incredible photographs.
I really enjoyed your production. Acros is a glorious film stock, my old stock is going fast. You're an excellent photographer. The tonality results are exceptional from both developers but the 510 are crisp and clean, like a fine art pencil drawing. I will be procuring some in the near future.
Both developers are good, but I have to say, I liked the 510 a little better. It seemed to have a more ancient look instead of modern, in my opinion. Nice photos and video !
Very nice photographs. Excellent tonality and separation of tonal values, no doubt helped by the use a Pyro developer. Hope you have recovered well from the effects of the evil Covid. I am still having problems with breathing when exhausted. Keep well Martin.
Great thought out and informative video as always. I had the same problem with a atlftermarket adapter ring. A few minutes with a belt sander gave me infinity focus but the Aperture scale was not straight up where they needed to be.
Lovely shots that show off the characteristics of the lens perfectly. I recently started developing my own B&W films and your opinions on the two developers were interesting as I haven't used either yet.
Those adapters are great. I even have one to mount Mamiya RB67 lens on my Olympus m43 camera. What a beast of a looking camera. Just another option for a fun day out with the camera. Thanks for all your effort on these much appreciated video.
Wonderful pictures, just beautiful. It reminds me how much I love b/w, especially when done masterfully like this. Lovely old lens too, gorgeous rendering. Thank you for sharing all this. Edit: I think I slightly prefer the first set, but both are top notch and very impressive.
Thank you Martin, wonderful video. I agree, I came of age when 50mm was the default and it is "the way I see." I love my Takumar M42 50s, not only for the field of view, but for their close focusing. 510Pyro is very interesting! Thank you. See you next time.
Another great video Martin. Some cracking images there. I loved the bins. Just bought a Pentax spii from fordes. Wished I’d gone with pentax in my younger days. Keep up the good work.
Lovely images. I agree with you about the look you get when using the older lenses, especially at the wider apertures. I still have a Pentax Spotmatic II that I use with these lenses (no adapter needed).
Fantastic shots Martin. I love that vine tunnel photo. I always think of 50mm as my home base, 75% of my photos. I venture away from it now and then, but always come back. One trick to make a 50 seem wider like a 35, is to put two subjects at opposite ends of the frame. Try it!
Great to see you again. Another great video, I feel always inspired after your videos and pictures. I can't decide which developer looks better :) Thank you.
It's rare to see a comparison between Pyrocat HD and 510 Pyro as most people fall into either camp! So great to see a good neutral comparison. Some fantastic images you made there Martin, the Pyrocat ones that really stood out for me were at 14:58 and 15:14 The 510 Pyro ones were just phenomenal (or maybe I'm just bias!!! 😉)
Great video as always and you got some great shots. I do notice the rendering of the biotar being somewhat “swirly” and I love that in your photos, makes me want to pick one up. As far as the developers go I usually watch videos on my phone so any differences in sharpness,grain, and contrast don’t really stand out to me. I’m sure looking at them on the computer pre edit makes the differences really stand out.
Hello Martin!! Such a nice surprise to see that you had made a video. Are you fully recovered? A great variety of images. Some unusual and interesting pictures. Difficult to see online which developer I prefer, but perhaps the pyro produces a little more contrast?
Please share a video of best film SLR camera and lenses for beginners on budget Also your view on digital SLR For example a Pentax K5 What lenses do you recommend The kit lens 18-55 and 50-200 are they useful in real world scenarios If not what lens do you recommend Thank you
For all films below 400iso, mix is 1 to 100, pour developer in at 20c, continuous agitation for first min then leave to stand, do just one inversion at 10 min then leave till end time. The dev time depends on the film your using, Fuji Acros in this vid was 15 mins total time

Martin nice to see you again. Hopefull you are well.
Fantastic pictures, I love the look of the Biotar.
Simple and beautiful!
Amazing pictures.
You are a master. Thank you. I will go out with the 50mm lens. Good inspiration. Love the photos.

amazing photos as always! great compositions!
You always have such beautifully exposed/developed photos. I learn and I am inspired by your videos.
Thank you and glad you enjoy them
Thanks for the part about adapting m42 lenses to the K mount. I always learn more than the title of the video suggests!
Beautiful work !!
Beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Both developers did good job 👍
Both developers are good, but I have to say, I liked the 510 a little better. It seemed to have a more ancient look instead of modern, in my opinion. Nice photos and video !
Yes I think I agree with you, 510 pyro is a great developer that I am slowly getting to like the more I get used to it and suit my developing style
The photos are black-and-white perfection!
Really nice photos you have.
When I got my first SLR, it came with just a prime 50mm lens, so for several years, that was all I had. It never hindered my picture taking.
Great to see you back in action.
Thank you so much Martin for these beautiful, inspiring videos. I looked forward to them.
Love the distorted backgrounds! Gives a very creative look to the images
Very nice photographs. Excellent tonality and separation of tonal values, no doubt helped by the use a Pyro developer. Hope you have recovered well from the effects of the evil Covid. I am still having problems with breathing when exhausted. Keep well Martin.
Thanks , I seem a lot better thanks

If not what lens do you recommend
Thank you
Welcome back Martin, great advice again. Can you show the 510 in use? I have some and am not to sure what to do using it to develop.
For all films below 400iso, mix is 1 to 100, pour developer in at 20c, continuous agitation for first min then leave to stand, do just one inversion at 10 min then leave till end time. The dev time depends on the film your using, Fuji Acros in this vid was 15 mins total time
@@martinhensonphotography thanks
Had a bag with lenses and accessories 85% of my photos were taken with a standard lens.
I find the pictures with the 58 sharper
