Here is a little "architectural" series I did. The equipment was 905swc, Fuji Neopan 100 and Wratten 16 orange filter. Enjoy :z04_5769:

Very nice! B&W really made sense here capturing the essentials. Did you use a focusing grid screen for alignment? Spot meter?

Guesstimation for metering, hyperfocal for focussing

Which shows again that we should not allow ourselves to be overly fascinated by technical gizmos

To my eye this type of image only works in square format. I have quite a number of pictures in my archive which have a *very* similar style

It's easy too! Sunlight: 1/500, f/8 and ISO 100. Compensate two stops for the filter and there you are!

Looks like the Sunny 16 guide is alive & well.
