Leica recently introduced a new 50 ISO black and white film, becuase, hey, let's not leave any  money on the table for those buying M-A's, MP's and the revived M6.

Street Fest Part of Beaches Jazz Fest Toronto Camera Club Photo Walk.

Image
Street Fest part of the month long Beaches Jazz Festival is an amazing opportunity for street photography, granted a few things to consider, eat dinner early because every patio along Queen Street East was slammed with patrons.  We started at Queen and Woodbine with Samba Squad and the group split up around Ivan Forest Gardens due to the crowds and the heat as the city was under a head advisory for the month. I finished the roll and double back to Woodbine along the lake to catch the bus home.  Camera: Nikon F100, Nikon AFS 50 F1.8 G Lens.  Film: Ilford HP5 400 pushed to 1600, Ilfotec HC 1+15.
