Film Camera Week for August 24

Two shop doors on the wharf in Nantucket Harbor. Leica IIIc, Summitar, Ektar 100.

 

 

Hello, Janis. Welcome back! ;)

Who be Janis?

Who be Janis?

Janis Joplin, the most famous person to ever dress like that, and the person this girl is, perhaps without realizing it, emulating. It's especially the glasses, but also the attitude.

Got it!

Rough weather has kept me indoors for a couple of days but I've managed to make something of an inroad into a pile of colour negatives that have been awaiting scanning for some months. Here are a few samples.

 

First, three images from a Cambo Wide camera, using a Sinar 6x12 cm rollfilm back loaded with Kodak Portra 160 NC. The lens was a 65mm Schneider Kreuznach Super Angulon f/5.6.

Here's a portrait taken with a Nikon FE and the 105mm Nikkor f/2.5 lens. The film was Fuji Superia 200

You make me want to take pictures.

Thank you, and I'm very pleased to hear that... I guess I must be doing something right...

While scanning a roll of slides that just came back, one more from the same series as last week; Canonet QL17, Delta 100 in HC110.

Beautiful work, Rick. I like the 2:1 ratio on the first batch, and the light on the Sand Hills is awesome. My problem is that I don't have the patience to wait for the light, 90% of the time. The little girl is beautiful, and it's a lovely portrait of her.

 

You make me want to take photos, too.

That portrait is what got my attention as well.

It looks completely natural and candid but the quality of lighting, pose, and smile look like that would be impossible.

Great work, everyone. Rick, that portrait is outstanding. I will probably process and scan some Plus-X later today. A while back I found my 90's vintage Nikon Lite Touch (28mm f 3.5 triplet) and look forward to processing that roll. Also got Plus-X in my Olympus XA (taking it to Church with me this morning). Continuing a roll of Plus-X in my Minolta SRT 101 with MD 35-70.

Beautiful portrait. The best I have seen with the 105mm f2.5 Nikkor. You made me want to get out my 105/2.5 Nikkor this week.

Thanks, James, Mike, Moving On and Davecaz, your positive comments are appreciated

Technically not a classic manual camera.... and the bit of electronics that are there worked nicely against me, as for a fair number of frames for some reason it has something like 2 stops dialled in, and since the meter is usually quite accurate, I used my brain too little. Maybe simpler is better.... :-) Anyway, the roll of slidefilm didn't like those wildly off exposures; luckily the rest came out just fine.

That's gorgeous!

Being a History and Film camera fan, I really appreciate your postings here Rick.

Thanks,

Still got 4 more frames to develop and scan, as well as the rolls I shot with the Werra and Kodak No.2 folding pocket.

Adding a few to this week's thread: a departure from my usual classic gear- a more modern Nikon Lite Touch. This little unassuming P&S seems to have modest specs at first, but has a sharp 28mm f 3.5 triplet and ample focus zones. DX coding is only ISO 100 to 400 and maximum shutter speed is 1/250 second. With lens retracted it's thinner than an XA. A few shots from a roll of Kentmere 100.

Another cool feature on this tiny camera is infinity lock. Several much pricier fixed focal length P&S cameras I have lack that feature.

Part of All Saints Episcopal Church in Grenada

A friend of mine who was a Canon enthusiast passed away recently and they held his service at this church.

Grenada has a lot to offer photographers so I plan to go back soon.

Okay, low light is not the best way to see how this camera performs so last Sunday (while my turn to run sound board) I steadied the camera on the back of my chair and took this photo. Maybe a little motion and missed the mark a bit on focus. At close range P&S cameras have sensor parallax and true to form this one had some.

CD equipment

Although our new thread begins in only a few hours, I thought I'd add a couple of color shots from 1987, shot one whatever Ektachrome was designated as EN.
