Classic Manual Camera Weekend, July 29


Recommended Posts

<p>It's coming. It's here already for some of us. It's Friday July 29, and time to start our weekend thread. I found some Tri-X negatives from a few years back that I never got around to scanning. Three images (more or less) from your classic gear. Feel free to share extras on the 365 day thread.</p><div>00e4Xf-564594484.jpg.7c6199c6efabc9bc876af3b9d6852863.jpg</div>

<p>Last week I took the Pentax 67 for a walk in Old Montreal. The film was Fuji Acros 100, shot with a yellow filter and developed with Diafine. The effect of Diafine and the yellow filter cancel each other out, allowing me to shoot at the film's box speed even with the filter on.</p><div>00e4Xx-564595284.jpg.05a6dab50aed19f2341f497873f42358.jpg</div>

<p>#3: $30M Ferrari. If you look very carefully, you can see a minor dent in the hood above and to the right of the Ferrari emblem. That is from a passer by who SAT ON THE $30M Ferrari for a picture and left a dent!<br>

<p>David, Impressive Pentax 67 /Acros combo, beautifully shot.<br>

A few more from my day up at Campbell River, the self-claimed "Salmon Capital of the World". Counted 4 marinas on the ocean side with about 20 docks of commercial and charter vessels. A few more marinas on the river side, not visited. Took the opportunity while there to book a 2-day charter in August for myself and 3 friends. Looking forward to getting the Smoker going!<br>

Nikon F2A, AI 50/2.0, FP4, Rodinal (1+25) 9 minutes, scans on BSH/V700.</p><div>00e4dN-564618984.jpg.5ae3f6240e89cc4331cdeace608c1174.jpg</div>

<p>As far as I know this is supposed to be the only statue of George Washington as a young soldier<br>

in a British uniform. He was sent by the Governor of Va. to NW Pennsylvania to a small French fort, Fort Le Boeuf<br>

to let the French know that they were trespassing on British land and to vacate the fort. They eventually did leave the area.<br>

Quite a historical town, it is now known as Waterford, Pa. </p><div>00e4gH-564629484.jpg.dc4531aaa22f8cd88866e29df4f913cc.jpg</div>

<p>Some summertime playing - I'm liking this Canonet quite a bit, though at night focussing isn't the easiest (can't see the rangefinder patch well) and f/2 performance is decent, but there will be sharper around :-) Plus, tri-x pushed and developed under rather uncontrollable temperatures didn't exactly help....</p><div>00e4gU-564630084.jpg.51dd461e41c7fa74a4fd226248823216.jpg</div>
