A March Sunday Afternoon During Fool's Spring

Image
 An unseasonably warm Sunday afternoon, didn't have to wear a winter jacket or wear gloves you have no idea how happy I was, as much as I like my winter photography gloves, shooting with them is more about protecting your fingers from frostbite than fine motor dexterity to work the camera controls.  I pulled my Nikon S3 2000 Rangefinder and shot with the Nikkor S Mount 50 F1.4 but shot most of the roll on an S Mount 35 F2.8 Voigtlander Color Skopar lens because the lens hood for the 50 F1.4 lens kept falling off on me. There has to be a 3D printed replacement out there somewhere. Voigtlander at the turn of the millennium released lense in Leica Thread mount (M39), M mount but also Contax C mount for your Zeiss Ikon IIa and IIIa and, Nikon S mount for their rangefinder system which is an almost clone of the Contax II and IIIa.  In the end it was a stunning day and I love the results I got.  Camera: Nikon S3 2000, Nikkor S 50 F1.4 lens, Voigtlander S Mount 35 F2.5 Colo...

March on a Roll of Ilford FP4

Image
 March in Toronto is an all over the place month weather wise. We started off with snow banks slowly melting and by the end of the roll just over a week in, we got Fool's Spring with temperatures you usually see in early May, it was a nice respite.  I loaded up my Nikon F90X with a Nikon AF-D 28-105 zoom lens which is a great all 'rounder and ran with Ilford FP4, a film one overlooks because it's an old faithful emulsion. Damn, so nice, I processed in Ilfotec HC 1+31 for eight minutes, nothing exotic, the negatives look super crisp and easy to scan.  In the end, the roll started in late winter, and ended in Fool's Spring just before second winter hit.  Camera: F90X, Nikon AF-D 28-105 F3.5-4.5 Zoom Lens.  Film: Ilford FP4 125, Ilfotec HC 1+31.
