Back on celluloid after two decades

A family member recently gave me their old Minolta X-300 SLR which they hadn't used since they got a digital camera in the early 2000s, and gave me instructions to try using it. An order of film, 2 torn reels, and a sellotaped note on the back, and a week's worth of waiting later, and I have some results from a few walks and rides around London.
All the images were developed by Rapid Eye in Shoreditch (thanks friends who recommended them!) The film was from Analogue Wonderland. The black-and-white shots are all on Kentmere 400 (you can get a free roll with an Analogue Wonderland order if you use this referral link) and the colour shots are on Cinestill 800T.
