mamiya 6, 75mm f3.5, ilford ortho plus 80. Haven't tried an ortho film before, liking it. These are with the absurd-looking close up lens for the plants.

Nikon FM2n, AI Nikkor 50mm f/1.8S, Ultrafine eXtreme 400, developed in LegacyPro L110 at 1:31 for 5.5 minutes. Three individual black and white frames shot through Tiffen #25 Red, #58 Green, and #47 Blue filters, respectively, then combined using GIMP to create a trichrome color image.
That’s excellent. It’s a great technique, and it looks like you’ve got it down to a fine art. That’s the standard way of doing pretty pictures in astrophotography (or at least it certainly used to be, I gave it up a few years ago, although it is the ultimate equipment hobby). Some of the fancy filters aren’t half expensive, not least some of the narrow band ones, if I recall correctly. Mind you, I used to quite like black & white images of nebulae (and it saved having to get the stars to precisely line up!).

Lovely pics, very soft colors (at least that's how I'd describe them). Also grainy, which prompts me to ask if those pics are croppings at full scale from the original scans, which could explain the grain. I was going to ask about the camera and lens used, then I saw your followup posting.

The 110 film is ‘scanned’ w my 1:1 macro lens as close as it will let me focus. As it is a 1:1 on 35mm, it cannot fill the frame with the 110 image so the rest is cropped away.
I do have extension tubes which allow me to get much closer but rarely use them as the lens then needs to be focused manually on my z7 which is a serious PITA.
The grain is also a product of the film being at least 26 years old. However, it is 110 film!

I’m genuinely curious about this. Have you kept it in a fridge or freezer?
If not, I’m amazed that it should look this good, if it has spent most (or even just much) of its life in California.
All film I get is tossed in the freezer. But I have no idea how it was stored before I bought it maybe 8-10 years ago. I acquired it from a photo store online - maybe KEH - on clearance.
