I note that you have listed the lens as the pre ASPH Summicron 35. This is a lens very high on my wish list and you clearly enjoy using it. The perspective in the stone work (ie vanishing point effect) seems quite pronounced for a 35. I'm inspired to have a play with that focal length on a statue locally now. Nothing like trying to rediscover basics to get inspired. Also I see that you have used a CN process B&W film. The grain seems very fine for 400ASA in your scan. I've only just started to play with HP5, Delta400 and TX400 again after a VERY long period of shooting all colour neg. All for me exhibit much coarser grain it seems (self processed in D76/ID11)Of course , not to say that is necessarily un-desirable. Have you chosen the BW400CN for processing convenience or more because you're pleased with its performance? Have you experimented with shooting CN & then Photoshopping to your desired BW output? Thanks again for sharing an enjoyable image.
