I am not too fond the Summicron 75's "bokeh". Tends to blow out the highlights a bit - but it certainly is sharp - and contrasty.
The Heliar 75mm f1.8 is "smoother" and a bit more mid tone oriented. The Summicron 75 is contrasty -a bit "technical" in its rendition. Would have been a fun lens to shoot Kodachrome 25 with.
A bit of a challenge for the Lagacy Pro 100. Worked fine - I put the AE to +1 compensation - could have gone 1/2 stop more.
The Legacy Pro 100 liked the Pyrocat HD - even in the 1:1:75 dilution/ Seems that this dilution works better with slower, fine grained fins. The XX/TriX is a bit "raw" with it.

Close to the school too - but obviously flunked latin - and penman ship! Also seemed to have problem with words with more than 3 letters.
A friend returned a F3 that I lent him some time ago - so a family portrait was in order. The F3/MD4 is an ergonomically very good set up. Fits the hand well too. The F with the F36 maybe not so pleasant to carry too long - but truly a classic F.
The F3's motor has a rather discreet "burp" when advancing - the F36 has a more "slam,bang" noise.
Street living in Kitsilano.
The Foma Retropan 320 reminds me of TriX in the 60's. This was when you developed in various hotel room, usually Rodinal 1:25 and transmitted pictures via a clunking rotary scanner. You prayed that the phone line stayed open long enough to transmit the entire image without lines. Usually stuck the wet print on the drum, sent it and then you tried to peel the wet print off.
Nice old style barbershop. Elaborate light fixtures and comfortable chairs too. Almost worth a haircut!
Does this mean that your wine is on tap? Oenophiles world wide unite. Bad enough with the screwcaps.
Mexican beer and food place in Gastown. The combination of Fuji Acros 100, Pyrocat HD and the Planar 50mm f2.0 is rather stunning. Sharp, nice contrast and no flare.
Patterned walkway. Just testing a new batch of Pyrocat - and a new 400 ft can of EK 5222. In the movie industry they insist on matched emulsion numbers - I am less of a perfectionist - mixed numbers are fine. Shooting Sunny f16 is not that precise anyway.
This photograph was taken on a rare occasion in UK's Thames Valley. The snow was falling for a short time and all gone in the next hour.
The Nokton 35mm f1.2 has become a bit of a legend in its own time. Nothing else like it out there. Complex design and yes it is not small - but it is f1.2 - and when you need it, there are no substitutes.
The gull was eye-balling me - trying to figure out if a Nikon S3 could be considered food.
The XX was fine, now I have to load about 70 of the reload able cassettes (IXMOO and Nikon) for use the next couple of month.
The Pyrocat was fine too - the dust was gone. I did suspect my fixer, mixed fresh batch and it was milky white with lots of small particles in it. Dumped it yesterday and mixed up another batch - problem solved.
The Village (formerly the Olympic Village) has some interesting public art and/or support structures.
Petronas is investing in a LNG (Natural Gas) and our slightly nutty premier thinks that this is a good thing. Claims that it will make the province billions. It also will have liquid gas tankers plying the coastal water,
Yep, here it is is - the Bentley SUV, the Bentayga. Rather ungainly looking too. I particular like the weird lights next to the headlights - illuminating things at 45 degree angle.
Dan brought a 24x36 inch print in brilliant colour to Aphrodites. It was a shot of one of the fireboats. It was a Cosco print and very well done..
... as seen on late winter cross country skiing trip.
Shot on Fuji Acros film with Bronica ETRSi, Zenzanon 75 PE and a orange filter. Developed in Pyrocat HD 1:1:100 for 14 minutes, presoaked for 2 minutes.

Henning and Cradoc trying to figure out their I-Phone exposure metering system. Barry wasn't there, too bad as he has at least 4 different metering options on his. I just guessed, 1/60s and f1.4 and that seemed to work.
