Downtown in July

Image
  Been a minute since I last shot with one of my Nikkormats, so I pulled out an FT2, put on a Nikkor O 35 F2 lens, and went downtown. Well I had too, it was a trip to the bank with my brother to deal with some remaining business with my mom's estate, didn't take long and I was back on the street.  So far this has been a 100 ISO Summer, I broke that with the roll of Tri-X I shot here, and shot through a mid 1970s Nikkormat FT2, it seems right.  Nikkormat FT2, Nikkor O 35 F2 lens.  Film: Kodak Tri-X 400, Ilfotec HC 1+31.

 It was a stinky hot Canada Day, Jo-Anne was up in North Bay visiting family so I did a solo day trip up to Beaverton and Cannington, Saner heads would have just hung out at home and blast the air condidtioning. I wnet up first thing and I'm glad I did, the smart thing, changed lenses sparingly so rear lens elements didn't fog.  The heat as bad as in on my way home I wanted to stop by Second Wedge Breweing to grab some beer and some Foundry Pi Pizza, only the brewery was open and doing great business, No pizza, the cooks were sent home because it was too hot in their container with the pizza oven.  I chose the Minolta XE-7 and Ilford FP4 125 as the camera and film, I still stand by my position both this and the XD series of cameras were Minolta's high point for manual focus cameras. I'm happy to be shooting my Minoltas again.  Camera: Minolta XE-7, MC Rokkor 50 F1.4 Lens. Minolta MD 75-150 F4 Zoom Lens.  Film: Ilford FP4 125, Ilfotec HC 1+31.  ...
