Wandering Around the Neighbourhood with Dad's Nikon F

Image
 A mid Summer walk around my neighbourhood and I brought dad's Nikon F out off the shelf for a workout. While I love Adox CHS 100 II, with the bright almost cloudless skies and running with mostly Sunny 16 and on occasion a Sekonic L398a found the photos a little too contrastly. Adox CHS 100 II unlke say Ilford FP4 or Kodak Tmax 100, Fomapan 100 or Rollei RPX 100, is not quite as forgiving and yoiu want to shoot with a camera with an accurate meter.  Camera: Nippon Kogaku Nikon F, Nikkor Pre AI lenses.  Film: Adox CHS 100 II, FX39 1+9.

Continuing On with Kentmere 100 with a Nikon FM

Image
 Yeah, Kentmere 100 just plain rocks. That is all in that department.  I am a Nikon fan boy with scores of F, F2, three F3's a pair of F4's, pair of F90x's, a pair of F100's an F5, FM2's a pair of FE's, a pair of FE2's and a pile of Nikkormats. All work great, but I had two problem FM bodies that are no longer in the collection but, at some point in the past year, I decided to replace with a chrome and black FM bodies. I'm happy to find two examples and both work great, granted I had to re-seal the black one.  Camera: Nikon FM, Nikkor Ai Converted SC 50 F1.4 lens.  Film: Kentmere 100, Ilfotec HC 1+31.
