Beautiful Day Part Two

As an antidote to the fine Vancouver-Seattle weather pattern of endless rain Southern Ontario is being subjected too, here is part two to a beautiful day somewhere along the Niagara Escarpment in Caledon. This weekend is starting look like a washout from here, at least you can vicariously go hiking in the photos.

Camera: Nikon F Photomic Tn circa 1968, Nikkor S 50 f1.4 and H 28 f3.5 lenses,
Film: ORWO UN 54 ISO 100 processed in Xtol 1+1 for 6min, 30 sec at 20c.

Second Roll of Aerocolor IV (Flic Film Elektra 100)

Image
 I bought a bunch of Flic Film Elektra 100 after shooting a roll of Santa Color 100 late last fall down in Niagara on the Lake  with my good Canon New F-1. I packed a two rolls gifting one roll to my brother Alex before heading south on vacation for a week. This time around my second adventure of Kodak Aero Color IV at a different time of the year.  Again, I shot at "box speed" at 100 ISO only this time through my Nikon F3/T. This time I loved the results even more, not just because it went through a different camera system. I think back late last November there was more infrared light in the spectrum due the time of year thus influencing the colour cast of the Aero Color 1V. Shooting the second roll in late March gave me a lot more the look I adored. Due to the polyester base Aero Color IV is easy to scan, you can almost colour correct during the scanning process, reducing your work flow a bit at the other end in Lightroom. Again being a polyester base, you want to load...

The New Addition to the Fleet, the NIkon FM2T

Image
 I didn't need a NIkon FM2T but I got one. I already have both a chrome and black Nikon FM2N bodies but being not only an analogue photographer I'm also a Nikon collector. Ok, the FM3a's are getting a little out of hand in the used market. As you have read over the past few months I've been on a gear acquisition tear this is more a prize. James over at Casual Photophile wrote a great pieec back in 2019 on the camera , and pretty much shares what I think, yeah, you don't really need this camera but if you're a Nikon collector you want one. The FM2T was only made from 1993 to 1997 and is a rare beast in the grand scheme of things compared to the FM2n which was made from 1989 to 2001. What the FM2T is a lighter and tougher version of the FM2N. with a titanium outer housing, like a regular FM2n it feels great in my hand. This particular example was spot on with the meter and did not take one bad photo at all.  Film wise I ran with Ilford Delta 100, I'm just tryi...

Walk Into Burlington camera Looking for some Lenses and Accessories, walk out with a Leica M5.

Image
 I should never be left unsupervised at Burlington Camera's used counter. I went to there with my friend Art Liem, a brother from another family thinking, yeah maybe grab a lens and accessories, but walked away with an early production Leica M5 recent overhauled by DAG Camera Repair. I'm really happey with my purchase and when I got back home, put one of Whitney Weaving's hand woven camera straps .  For those not familiar, the Leica M5 replaced the M4 that was the ended the line that goes all away back to the M3. The M5 was the great leap forward with TTL metering and a great oversized shutter speed dial that was easy to use. Sadly the M5 was a sales dud, first off it was expensive compared the recently introduced Nikon F2 and Canon F-1 which were the two choices for working pro photographers and every bit as well built. Leica enthusiasts HATED the M5 because it didnt' look like the M4, which resulted in only 33 thousand units sold. Along with the Leicaflex SL2, had two...
