The First Roll in Toronto as a Resident

Image
 Just like that, I'm now a 416 resident, I went out to play with two new to me lenses running errands around town, the Canon 35 F2 and 100 F3.5 lens both are amazing. I've been looking for the 100 F3.5 lens for a while for my Canon rangefinder kit for a while, usually the examples I found online were a tad dodgy, I got lucky buying one with the Canon 7S. The 35 F2 lens, is the later black barrel from the late 1960s is amazing glass, glad I splurged on this.  Said this before, if you can't afford a Leica M kit, take a good long look at the Canon rangefinder system, particulary the P and the 7 Series of bodies. We have an upcoming Classic Camera Revival episode on the subject so stay tuned on that. I love my Canon 7's particulary the 7S and 7sZ, both were the pinnicle of Canon rangefinders with the Leica screwmount, Nikon bailed it's rangefinder platform and concentrated on the Nikon F, and later Nikkormat cameras.  One shot I really wanted to nail is the CP24 News Tr

The Last Roll I Shot in Oakville as a Resident.

Image
 Been almost a month now since I left Oakville and I'm finally getting around to going through my last roll  I shot there as a resident. I chose to roll with my Leica IIIf rangefinder and my last roll of Lomo Metropolis 400, an interesting combination. Metropolis 400 is heavy on the desaturated colour and in some ways intentional.  Living in North Toronto now, Oakville has become a bit of a hazy memory. I missed the focus a wee bit on my old house 246 Cairncroft Road but in some way it represents what your memory sees. I made the right call with Metropolis 400, granted if I did this series right, I should have used my Leica M3, but that was in storage.  Camera: Leica IIIf Red Dial, 50 F3.5 Elmar lens.  Film: Lomography Metropolis 400. Processed at Burlington Camera.
