The Lucky 100 behaves quite well in flat light - but any highlights tend to flare out. Sharpness is fine, grain is OK.
Tuesday nights is admission by donation to the Art gallery. We used to be members, but hen they proposed to build a new gallery - and have it look like 4 bento boxes stacked on top of each other - and costing $350 million - we withdrew our support.
...Picnic Island, Lake Illawarra.

Photographed December 2017 / Rollei 35S , 35mm miniature camera with Zeiss Sonar 40mm/2.8 lens. Rollei RPX 400 bulk film stock rated ASA 320 developed in Pyrocat-HD (5ml A + 25ml B > 600ml, 7min @ 20*C). Negative scanned to SD CARD in a JUMBL scanner box, image processed & finished in Flickr. Cropped to 4:3.
Horst is showing of the 300Sl roadster and the Gullwing. We all have had a desire to own now of the gal ones. I have driven the Gullwing (early 60's) - extremely uncomfortable in sunny weather - airflow through the cabin at below 160km/h was virtually non existent and it quickly turned into a sauna bath.
Our current Prime Minister has a 300 SL roadster - his dad's old car.
Mostly trying out the Canon 29mm f2.8. The beach has more or less returned to the locals - and their dogs. Peace and quiet reigns for the next 5 months.
The "busker" decided to leave the amp a good bit away. The last thing you would want is rain shortening it out!
OK, the Summaron 28f5.6 is not ideal for shots like this. Even with a reasonably bright room - you are at f5.6 and 1/8s!
Barry is admiring his score at the "Mini Mart" before the official meeting - a chrome Voigtlander Color Skopar 35mm f2.5 in screw mount. Mint too and only $200 Canadian. Even I was tempted and I already have at least 5 of them!
Interesting architectural style. All sharp angles - and how do you furnish a place like that! You could easily get cornered.
The more dedicated monarchists in place a good 3 hours ahead of the arrival of the Hovercraft that took Will and Kate from Vancouver Island to the Coast Guard station in Kitsilano. The former Harper government closed it down in a misguided attempt to save money and Trudeau opened it up again.
I need to shoot some stuff with the XX as it dries flat. The TriX curls with a vengeance and even the scanners film holder has problem holding it flat.
Looks a bit sparse - but it is a functioning store - no idea what they sell, unless it is dilapidated chairs!
The vintage Zeiss Biogon is surprisingly even across the image. Not much edge fall off - and really sharp.
The Nikon 21mm f4 for Nikon Rf's is staggeringly expensive - upwards of $5000 - Zeiss Biogon 21f4.5 can be had for about a 1/4 of that price - and is a better lens. The Voigtlander Color Skopar 21f4 is S-mount is an other alternative - and it is much smaller and lighter than the Zeiss lens. It also has distance scale and aperture scale that you can read! The chrome Biogon has minuscule engravings - and in sunlight you spend a lot of time peering at it and trying to figure out what numbers you are on. Mine also has a aperture scale that will rotate in a cross wind!
Photographed May 2017 : Canon FP & Canon Lens Mount Convertor 'P' & Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm/2.8 (preset). ILFORD PAN 100 rated ASA 100 developed in PYROCAT-HD (5.5ml A + 25ml B , 5min 40sec , 20*C). Negative scanned to SD card in a JUMBL scanner ; image processed in Flickr.
I did "mis focus" on purpose as I wanted to see how the Nokton 35mm f1.2 rendered the scene. Nice "bokeh" too.
Just happened to have a M2 with the C Biogon 35mm f2.8 along when we went to the Museum of Vancouver. Shot at f2.8 and 1/125s.
Marc probably has the largest inventory of filters of anyone I know - either 5000 or 10 000 - he has not counted them lately!He usually takes a small selection (500 or so to the various swaps). There always seems to be some demand too.
Big Poppy and crosses for a memorial over fallen soldiers . Some times I think we should also have memorials for all the innocent civilians who were killed in the insanity of war.
I liked this dog. Very good cartoon - and as you come upon it suddenly - for a split second you think it is real!
In the freezer there lurks two 20 packs of Fuji Neopan 1600 (10 years out of date). I decide to shoot one roll - and as I usually rated it at 1000 iso - in deference to it's age, I rated it at 800 iso.
Back when film ruled I used a lot of it as I never got along with the T-speed (Tmax 3200 and Ilfords 3200 - both of which were just a boy 1000 iso anyway). There is no subtlety to the Neopan 1600 - it is grainy - but it works, kind of.
Nice with some sun - shadows look better. We had a rather wet October - only three days without rain - i.e 28 days with it!!!!
two classic F's on the table. One is a #64xxxxx - the other # 74xxxxxx. Main difference between them is that the #74 one has a plastic tipped advance lever! Goes to prove that if you get the design right from the beginning - you don't really have to change anything for a decade or so!
One of the more impressive signs for a buildings street number!
The Nikkor 50mm f1.4 in the Millennium guise is an extremely sharp lens, nice tones - but bad ergonomics - at least in my estimation. Kind of a "bottle" neck rear to it - fingers keep sliding off the barrel and up against the lens mount.
I had heard about the Louiville Slugger (baseball bat) but the Lemonade sounds rather powerful too. All that cranberry juice would also be good for you!
