Film Camera Week for April 19


Recommended Posts

Greetings all, and welcome to our new thread.  Post all the images you like from any film camera.  I'll start with a few from a roll of Kentmere 100 that I processed and scanned earlier this week.  Camera was Minolta SRT 101 with 28mm f3.5 MC Celtic.

Apartments in Starkville.  Used K2 filter

I have owned a 180mm 4.5 lens for the Mamyia C system for some time but never used it. I finally got around to attaching it to the C330 loaded with Tmax 400. All shots taken at F 5.6. (Karin Pulled the trigger on my aging face while lying on the hammock}

Thank you Chuck. I said “much maligned Cosina-made”. My peers online assert it is the worst of the 3 manufacturers of this model. Like you however, I find the results more than satisfactory.

When I first saw the last few posts I questioned whether the Vivitar Series 1 28-105 f/2.8-3.8 was made by more than one company.  It wasn't.  All of them were made by Cosina.  I think the idea was that the 35-85, 28-90 and 28-105 Series 1 lenses were made by three different companies.  I have all three in various mounts and use them all.  As others have mentioned in the past, the 28-90 seems to have the best build quality and is my favorite of the three.  I also like the Vivitar 28-85 Variable Focusing f/2.8-3.8 and it's Kiron equivalent.  One thing you can say about all of these is that they are very good general purpose lenses.  They are not really made for architectural photography or critical macro work.  There are other lenses which are better for these purposes.  I use these lenses primarily with film cameras so I don't know too well how they work with non-film cameras.  If a Series 1 28-105 is in good condition, it is a capable performer.  The fact that Cosina made it should not count against it.  In my collection of macro lenses I have a number of the Cosina made 100/3.5 versions - you know, the "plastic fantastic."  It's light to carry and quite capable.

Thank you Jeff for clearing this up.. You are correct, I see there was only 1 Viviitar Series 1 of this lens and it was made by Cosina (9xxxxxx). The other 2 were the Kiron with different aperture range and the Kobori with 72 mm lens opening (77xxxxxx). The Cosina seems to sit comfortably in the middle of the pack.
