IMPOSSIBLE Project Color 600 film
ND Pack Filter
neutral setting
10/13 batch 44014102013
Out of the first pack, it wasn't until the last two images that the film started behaving as expected. Now, it might be my camera, but I've run A TON of Color CP through it in the last months so I would be surprised if it was the camera.
This film has more intense colors, but leans VERY warm. This shot was in overcast cool light and it's still pretty warm. The new 600 film seems VERY contrasty as well. It drops off to blacks very early, but it seems to handle highlights slightly better...but not much.
And it doesn't develop any faster...I don't care what TIP says, it's still 45 minutes like it was in the last batch.

I am VERY impressed by what I have seen so far of the autofocus and tracking abilities of the Sony A9.
I find this sequence especially amazing. I can honestly say I could not even dream of taking shots like this with my Nikon D3S, Nikon D4 or Canon 1DX II, even after months or years of using. With the Sony A9, I can't believe I am taking shots like this after only a few days of using, and after having scratched only the surface, in terms of all of its autofocusing modes and settings.
For shots like this, the photographer needs to maintain his / her concentration and stay locked on the subject as well. But it is so much easier with the A9, which has no viewfinder blackouts!
The above are a part of a long sequence of 120 shots. Click image below for more info or to see the entire set in full resolution.

This was a test shot with the Sony A9, which started shipping in the summer of 2017. Having previously used the Nikon D4 and Canon 1DX II, I could appreciate the enormous leap Sony made with its autofocusing and tracking technology in the A9. This was one very impressive camera for any kind of action photography.
The Sony A9 set a new benchmark that all other camera makers were forced to match. I would say if there was any one thing that drove a nail into the coffin of the DSLR, it was the Sony A9, even more than the Sony A7R. Once the A9 came out, there was simply no future for the DSLR.
This photo shows the impressive ability of the A9 to identify and latch on to the bird, then track it against an extremely busy background. I had a hard time spotting the bird with my own eyes, because my eyes don’t have this kind of foreground / background separation!

I've gone from a total dislike of EOS film cameras ("why, they're all PLASTIC for gosh sakes!") to wanting to shoot with little else. Fast, accurate focusing, dead-on exposure and a well-balanced feel. Oh, dear, I feel a sub-collection fever coming on.

Sayang sekali, kondisi peron yang kurang memanusiakan manusia ini, keberadaannya malah tak banyak membantu. Sungguh merana nasib ibu yang satu ini, sebagai konsumen setia PT KAI. Setelah melalui perjalanan panjang yang melelahkan, lalu sampai di tempat tujuan, malah tak disambut bak raja dan ratu. Padahal kita selalu ingat, jargon yang selalu ada di pikiran orang banyak.

Ted Court, 2011
A 600 style integral print film camera introduced in 1981 and originally sold for $95.00. Print size 3 1/8 in x 3 1/8 in with 10 prints per pack.
Autofocus seems to get used to them slowly, another week or two and
I hope I'll be able to focus on spring flowers!
I was happy to see they made it and didn't drown.
Manufactured from 1985 to 1988 by Minolta Camera Co. of Osaka, Japan. While other manufactures were all entrenched working on autofocus lenses for their line of 35mm SLRs, Minolta quietly rocked the industry back on it’s heels with the introduction of the first in-body autofocus system for 35mm SLRs. It was a bold and risky move—Minolta changed from their beloved MC/MD lens mount to an mechanical/electronic “A” mount. The camera featured many other “firsts” other than the autofocus that today we think of as standards. It had an in-body winder providing film advance and motorized rewind. To make room for the needed battery power, they made use of a grip on the right side of the camera—today, most cameras have a grip of this type whether the batteries are there or not! It featured pushbutton controls instead of dials and had a large, external LCD display.
What’s in a name? More correctly, what’s in how you write that name? In Europe it was called the “7000 AF” and in Japan the “Alpha 7000” (and you thought Sony came up with that all by themselves!). In North America, Minolta chose to market it with the Maxxum name. In spelling the name on the body of the camera, the decision was made to use an interlocking double “x” (as this example has—see picture). Looks nice until Exxon sees it in a print ad. The interlocking double “X” had been an Exxon trademark for some time. While Exxon did sue, they and Minolta came to a gentlemen’s agreement on the problem. Minolta apologized and agreed to change the logo-type to strait “xx”. And Exxon allowed Minolta to leave what had been sold by that point out there and only change new and undistributed stock. I wonder if it would have been settled the same way today…
The unique in-camera autofocus system relied on a semi-silvered pattern on the mirror (shown here) that allowed a portion of the image to transmit thru the viewing mirror onto a smaller “piggy back” mirror that reflected that broken image down into the bottom of the mirror box to a set of beam splitters and CCD devices. Basically, it focuses by looking for an area of contrast and focusing it to the finest detail (i.e. a hard edge) and the focus point of the lens. Very cool—works with ANY lens on the camera. The “A” mount also provided data to the camera about focal length, zoom position and aperture settings. Seems another company decided this was too close to their patent and sued. And let’s just say they we’re not as nice as Exxon. Unfortunately for Minolta, its autofocus design was found to infringe on the patents of Honeywell and in 1991, Minolta was ordered to pay Honeywell damages, penalties, trial costs and other expenses in a final amount of $127.6 million.
On a personal note, I’m very fond of this camera. As a younger man, I worked in a camera shop. This was the last “new” camera I sold as I went into a different career path in mid 1985….
