Cosina CSR, Cosinon Auto MC f/1.7 50mm
Kodak Gold 200
This was definitely a tough one with which to strike a balance between warm and unnatural. The open shad made it a bit blue to begin with, so this has been warmed up quite a bit.
Additional information:
Cosina CSR backyard test roll. I recently bought this camera for the spot meter feature. Turns out it's a really neat camera. It also has a double exposure switch and depth of field preview (a must with M42 mount, I suppose).
Anyway, the lens has some swirly cleaning haze - pretty noticeable with a flashlight - on the inside of the front element. It wouldn't clean off, so I worried about contrast issues. In the end, I think it does fine. Nice and sharp, and no haze issues unless the sun is shining into the lens.
As for the Kodak Gold 200... I usually HATE the results when I get pictures from the lab, but am quite pleased after doing my own scanning. I think it's a Fuji conspiracy to make their machines produce bad results from Kodak film... but probably not. But I love the greens and yellows from Gold 200.
