Back to another old favourite, partly to celebrate the lovely Canon lens.

Some from a Bronica ETRs using the 150mm Zenzanon MC f/4 lens. The film was Kentmere 400 developed in Spur Acurol-N. Park Morning #5 Park Morning #3 Anzac Day Park Morning #1 1894 Park Morning #7

For the 22nd. Canon T90 : 35-70mm Canon FD f/4 : Fomapan 100 Classic : Spur Acurol-N Testing the Fomapan #2

Three from a Nikon D600 using a Nikkor AF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6D lens.

From recollection, the sprockets that move the film are situated in the middle of the film gate, and after the last sprocket hole on the film passes over the sprocket no further film will be loaded despite further movements of the winding handle. This leaves about an inch of film protruding from the receiving cassette. The original 12 shot cassettes contained enough film after the final frame to load a short length of blank film into the cassette following the final exposed frame. There's quite a good description of the system here: http://www.artdecocameras.com/resources/using-rapid/

Three from a Nikon 1 v1 using the 1 Nikkor 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens.

Gary Green said : "A thumbs up for "Going Up", Rick. That shot has a classic film noir cinematic feel to it." Yes, I'm a great admirer of the film noir genre, that sense of impending danger an otherwise ordinary scene can generate in the viewer. I'd tried to convey this in the "Stormlight" image, with the scene lit by those intense rays of sunlight that shine from beneath gathering clouds. Thanks for the comment! @ kmac Humphrey Bogart? Good choice, though I'd prefer Wednesday Addams...

Some from the Praktica BC1 I pictured in the "What camera..." thread. The lens was a 35-70mm Pentacon Prakticar MC f/3.5-4.5 and the film was Arista EDU Ultra 100 developed in Spur Acurol-N. Morning and the Walnut Cordyline Australis (young cabbage trees) Going Up Two Eras Stormlight

For the 12th. Nikon F90X : 28-105mm Tamron AF f/4-5.6 : Arista EDU Ultra 100 : Spur Acurol-N Taro

I've just taken a film out of this Pentacon Praktica BC1, so we shall see what develops. It's a simple camera, nicely constructed and a pleasure to use.

Some from a Minolta Alpha 7 with a Minolta 24-105mm f/3.5-4.5D lens. The film was Ilford FP4 Plus developed in Spur Acurol-N. @ Medici 9 AM Abstract #73 Autumn Grasses Conversation Providore
