A Day down in the Beaches with my Nikon F4

Image
 Loved my Nikon F4's, so much so, I wound up with a third body, no LCD bleed and a P Focusing Screen which makes life easy for manual focus lens users. I was on the hunt for a P screen for my F4 with the dodgy autofocus sensor, but they are silly expensive to a point $100 more got me the third body with the focusing screen I wanted. This was the test drive. Yes the camera shines with the P screen. I'm not using autofocus with this particular body.  I wandered down to the Beaches mid week to avoid the crowds, weekends, the neighbourhood is slammed with humanity. Found it much more civilized. Of course I stopped for lunch at The Stone Lion, my go to pub in that neighbourhood. Overall, a great photography day.  Camera: Nikon F4, Voigtlander 40 F2 Ultron SL II lens.  Film: Kodak Pro Image 100, processed at Graination Lab 

Around the Neighbourhood in the Heat.

 This was another afternoon with one camera and one lens, in this case my Nikon F5 and Nikon AF-D 50 F1.4 lens and being a sunny day loaded up some Kodak Pro Image 100. It was a loop around the neighbourhood via the Blythwood Ravine and Alex Miur Gardens. It was a fun walk, much needed.  It amazes me Pro Image 100 doesn't get more love, love this film more than Ektar 100.  Camera: Nikon F5, Nikon AF-D 50 F1.4 lens.  Film: Kodak Pro Image 100, processed at Graination Lab.
