Mike Gammill Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Greetings, all and welcome to our new thread. Post as many photos as you like from your film camera. I'll start with some from a roll of Kentmere 100 that I processed yesterday. beach at Officers' Lake, Konica Auto S 1.6 water on side of Officers' Lake Road, same gear still more water along road, same gear Subway parking lot during period of light traffic I don't use flash much,but the Vivitar 383 that a friend gave me a couple of years ago is such a versatile and powerful flash that I try to use it from time to time. Also, the Kentmere 100 film I used doesn't have the very slight reciprocity failure with short duration autoflash as Plus-X and Tri-X. To show that grain is not objectionable (IMHO) I'll share a couple of images that I cropped to about 2/3 original size. Pearl (awakened from nap for a photo, Konica Auto S 1.6 with bounce flash Remus with bounce flash The 383 has power to spare for bounce flash. Looking forward to seeing everyone's images. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranssu1 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Canon A1, 35-70mm 4. Fomapan 100, Rodinal 1+50. Senate Square, Helsinki. Helsinki Cathedral South Harbor, Helsinki Harbor Café A detail All in all I was very pleased with the camera and lens, I used only the aperture priority mode, and the exposures were consistently correct. The lens is sharp, although I still think Minolta MD 35-70 3.5 is sharper. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ATTACH=full]1253435[/ATTACH] Old Church My second serious camera was a Yashica TL-Electro-X w/50 mm f/1.4 Yashinon so these bring back some memories for me. At the time I also had the use of a Leica M3 with 50 mm f/1.5 Summarit that had the pretty scratched up front element that a lot of those lenses do, and the Yashica 50 ran rings around it wide open. Surprisingly, the Summarit was great at f/8 though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly, the Summarit was great at f/8 though. I've found the 50/1.4 to be a superb lens. The Yashinon-DS and DS-M lenses in other focal lengths seem pretty scarce. The TL Electro X still works perfectly--not bad for a 50 y/o electronic camera. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_drawbridge Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 A great start to the thread! I received a Nikon F601 last week that I'd bought for a pittance and with it came a Sigma Hyperzoom DL 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. Not being a great fan of super zooms at the best of times, I thought the least I could do before moving it on might be to put it through it's paces, and as I didn't have a battery to fire up the 601 I fitted it to a Nikon FE and used it as a manual focus lens. It's actually sharper than I expected, though the barrel distortion at longer reaches is rather disturbing. I used a film that came with the outfit, an outdated Ilford HP5 Plus, (a film I wouldn't usually use in 35mm format), developed in PMK Pyro. I've subsequently tested the lens on the F601 and find it considerable better than the reviews would lead one to believe...But I still think I'll move it on.

Mike Gammill Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Great work with the Sigma zoom, Rick. Those "superzooms", when used with care, can deliver high quality images. Distortion at wide or tele extremes, lower edge sharpness at widest apertures are easy to work around after testing. I have a Tamron Adaptall 28-200, Maxxum mount 28-200 with optional close focus lens, and Prospec (equivalent of XR Tarmron) 28-200 in Pentax AF with the compact 62mm filter thread Used within their limits I get good results.

rick_drawbridge Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Thanks Mike, since I paid virtually nothing for the lens I might hang onto it for a while and play with it a little more. It performs surprisingly well in AF, and I was a little unkind in focusing it manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_van_Nooij Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Not a photo I took, but one I developed and scanned. http://www.flibweb.nl/flibweb/cpg154/albums/userpics/10001/Foto2.jpg Agfa Isopan SS, presumably about 55 years old. The owner said it came out of a Zeiss Ikon Nettar. I developed it for him in HC-110, B, 7 minutes at 20C, could probably gotten away with 6 minutes. The roll only held two images. Likes like they could be memories from the "Hell of 1963". 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
