Gelatin
Camera: 420
Film: FP-3000b
I brought the signs from Piggly Wiggly down to the Historical Society to see if they were interested in taking one for the archives, but they are probably way too big. I did give them a smaller sign I rescued, but it doesn't say "Grayslake" anywhere on it and it could get tossed. Oh well.
Figured I'd test out the 420 while I was out - I am very happy with the results! It's fairly sharp for a plastic lens, and exposes well with the L/D wheel on neutral; compared to the 250, which I always have to keep halfway toward "Lighten". The aperture setup in the 420 is a bit different (less complex) from the 250, which may also help. The viewfinder also frames surprisingly accurate, I shot this kind of sideways through the windshield of our truck, and was afraid I would get the rear view mirror in the shot.
