My latest attempt at using the Kodak Pony 135 creatively: Shoot a roll of APS film though it. Why not?
I was given a roll of expired (no clue how old) APS film and decided to try shooting it through the pony. I pulled the film out of the APS cartridge and wound it back into a 135 cartridge and taped it to a 35mm leader to help get the film started. I knew this would work since the pony's shutter isn't connected to the film advance.
Do to the covid crisis I don't have access to the Nikon film scanner I usually use, so I have been doing DSLR scanning. This works well for BW and E6 film, but c41 film is much harder due to me lacking software like negative lab pro. So, its hard for me to know if the weird colors here are due to the film or my lack of competence in getting nice positives from DSLR scanned c41 film. Either way, I am glad to share another fun thing you can do with the Kodak Pony 135.
Thanks again to the film lab at Gene's Camera in South Bend, IN, in this case especially for accomodating such an unconventional request and still only charging me $5.
