In Autumn on 2016 on a vist to Prague, I made this view with a Nikon F3 using the Czech B&W film Fomapan 100.
I’d read about this film, and bought several rolls in Prague which I put to good use during the duration of my trip.
Upon my return to Dublin, I processed the film in Ilford ID11 diluted 1:1 with water, then scanned the negatives with an Epson V500 scanner.

Here’s another view exposed on the Czech Fomapan 100 black & white film at the Praha-Smíchov railway station in the Czech capital.
Nothing fancy for equipment; just my old Nikon F3 with 50mm f1.8 Nikkor prime lens.
Black & white film is well suited to a dull day in Prague. And well worth the price!
The film cost less than $5 for 36 exposures.

On a visit to Prague, Czech Republic in October 2016, I bought several rolls of locally produced Fomapan black & white film.
At a suburban station to the east of the city center, I made this view of an old four-wheel freight wagon parked on a siding and consumed by the local vegetation.
This photo is a scaled Jpg from the original scanned negative. I made no adjustment to the scanned file in regards to contrast, exposure or sharpness.

On October 13, 2016, I exposed these digital photos in the Czech Capital using my FujiFilm XT1.
Prague is among the most visually intense cities in central Europe and I filled several cards during my short cloudy visit five years ago.
In addition, I exposed several rolls of black & white film, including my first Fomapan, a Czech-made commercial brand. My Fomapan photos have made various appearances on Tracking the Light. I carry two rolls in my camera bag, waiting for the appropriate moments to expose them.

In May, 2000, I made this photograph of a Tatra tram (advertising Kodak film) on the streets of Prague using a Nikon F3T that was fitted with a Nikkor 24mm lens and loaded with . . .
Fuji Sensia II!
Just for the record, on a visit to Fuji, Japan, I photographed a 1067mm gauge freight train on Kodachrome.

In May 2000, on one of two visits to Prague that Spring, I made this view deep below the streets of Soviet-era metro cars.
While the cars seemed old, the Metro was clean, quick and heavily used. However, there was a little bit of graffiti that emulated the style of New York City subway graffiti from the 1970s.
I exposed this Fujichrome color slide with my Nikon F3T.
