Film Camera Week for September 15

[Vincent Peri]

Bradlley, that shot of the mongolian girl is superb.

 

Rick, thank you. 'Don't know if you've tried other short zooms, but I'm underwhelmed by my 28-70 3.5-4.5. It won't hold a candle to my cheap Quantaray 70-200. Something crisp in the 24-80mm range would be handy. If you know of any winners there, pls. let me know. I'm using an old Fe2.

 

I don't know if the range isn't long enough for you, but the Nikkor 25-50mm lens is highly regarded.

 

Zoom Lenses For Nikon 'F' Mount: Wide-Angle

[Pinklather]

Gents, thank You! I'll have to note that Vivitar & Tamron & mount a search. I actually chose the Quantaray over the hallowed Nikkor after shooting a short roll - 1/2 w/ each lens. It was that the quantaray was more value - it gave better clarity. That short zoom range has been very useful for walking around the town.

[Mike Gammill]

Many of the Quantaray lenses were made by Sigma, which is good, of course. I had a Quantaray 28-90 in Maxxum mount that I gave (along with a Maxxum 4) to a former student who took my photography class and loved film.

My weekend's almost over and there are a few wet days ahead, so these will be my last for this week. These are a few samples from a Praktica BX-20 with a 35-70mm Pentacon Prakticar f/3.5-4.5 lens. The film was Kentmere 100 developed in PMK Pyro.

I am not happy with these scans but I haven'T contributed in a while so in the interests of wanting to contribute here are some stuff I made on both Modern and classic Film cameras. The Modern classic is a Nikon F301(2002) with a 28mm Kiron lens and the other camera was a Yashica FX2 using a mini ML Zoom that Matt Currie so generously gave me.

OOpps The Nikon roll isn't scanned... so the ensuing pics are from the FX2

Hello all

Here are a couple from the past week

Shot on the Konica Auto S2 expired PanF 50 developed in PyrocatHD, I shot half the roll at 25 and the other half at 50. I developed 14 mins.

 

I am not real happy with them the ones at 25 are better than the ones at 50 which are way too dark.

I think I read that the Pyro needs to be shot at one stop over, so maybe that was the problem, or the expired film, I think I will stick to fresh film.
