Saturday Trip Down to Queen Street East in the Beaches

Image
 It was a grey May for the most part, one weekend Jo-Anne and I went down to the Beaches, but we didn't go to the Beach proper, we stuck to Queen Street East. It started quite nice and as the day went on got more and more overcast. We had lunch at Pizzeria 900, can't reccomend it enough if you live in the East End.  To deal with the greyer skies, I switched to the Super Multi Coated Takumar 28 F3.5 lens after shooting with the Super Multi Coated Takumar 50 F1.4 lens. Both lenses are gems within the Pentax lens pantheon and that's why I've held onto my Spotmatics.  Camera: Asahi Pentax Spotmatic II, Super Multi Coated Takumar 50 F1.4 and 28 F3.5 Lenses.  Film: Fomapan 100, Rollei Supergrain 1+15.

In this case, it's Rollei Supergrain, there's a certain crispness to the negatives I enjoy working with.  This might be a 100 ISO/ASA  or 21 DIN Summer as much as possible, that's both colour and black and white film whenever possible. There will be some instances where I might have to go faster (really overcast days, they do happen in the Summer).   Camera: Asahi Pentax Spotmatic II, Super Multi Co...
