Honestly, I didn't have much hope for this film, with limited information online and not seeing any examples, I was expecting a grain fest, don't ask me why it's what my gut said. However, I was instead treated with a rich film with amazing tonality decent grain sharpness. An excellent first showing.

While you can only see the Orthochromatic nature of the film in some images, over all I didn't really like Ortho 25 with Rodinal, sure you get fine grain and razor sharp, but there's no drama to the film.

The OM goes down to electric avenue! The OM-2n is the updated version of the original OM-2 that took the chassis of the OM-1 and updated it with semi-automatic exposure and electronics and an innovating metering system that made the metering reading right off the film plane in automatic mode. Plus the lenses are no slouch either! Combine all that in a compact fun to use package, and you have a winner.

Okay, so here's where I met with a surprise. I did not expect these images to turn out this good! Not only do we have fine grain, but sharpness, not to mention a rich contrast and tonal range. These look more like Reversal rather than Negative.

Ah yes, might as well go back to where it all started, the Maxxum 7000 the first popular Autofocus SLR for the masses, doing away with things like knobs and dials and a shutter and advance that sounds like it's cheering everytime you fire a shot.

When Rollei makes a compact 35mm camera they do it right, proven in the Rollei 35 lineup. Now, mine is a later Singapore model, but it still shines. However, that doesn't mean the camera is without its faults, it's incredibly frustrating to load, rewind, and the scale focus doesn't help. But when it does work, it's magic.

This past year, if there is one downtown that offered up a lot of inspiration for my photography that city is Guelph. A beautiful area in the snow with plenty of historic buildings surviving, both commercial and plenty of residential.

Having a bit of fun with some Rollei Infrared Film that I have laying around. I made a bit of mistake with these, and either under-exposed or over-exposed the frames but of a roll of fifteen pulling out ten workable images isn't too bad!

By far not my favourite combo, but there could be a few factors in on this one, there wasn't too much open sunlight and the grain is terrible even with it being IR film and being shot at ASA-12.

I think TMax Developer actually made the film softer on the edges, gone are the razor sharp images from Rodinal, instead, a subtle shift, still sharp, but not in your face. It's a rather pleasing look.
