I got a chance to try out some slide film gifted to me. A fellow member of the Oakville Camera Club gave me her remaining slide film stock as she switched to digital. Thankfully it was stored properly in the freezer and I am quite happy at how this set turned out.

I used my Nikon FE with this hiking photo shoot along the Bruce Trail in Ancaster Ontario and shot Fuji Provia 100.

The Canon EOS 1n, the Camera that Made Life Difficult for Nikon

Image
I want to thank Ori Carmona, a friend and fellow Facebook Group adminstrator for Canon Film Photography for me to try out. So, my first serious camera was a Canon Rebel XS, your classic plastic fantastic from the late 1990s, once I went to manual focus, I never really used that camera again. Fast forward 20 years and with collection of camera gear from a variety of brands, I sort of saw myself as a Nikon fan boy with a soft spot for Canon FD mount gear and really loved shooting other brands like Minolta, Olympus and Pentax. I never shot with a pro grade Canon EOS mount camera, I do own a Nikon F4 which sadly has developed really bad LCD bleed on both displays so she's toast. Ori loaned me his camera to try out. Yes this camera made Nikon's life very difficult, and probably the reason why the F5 came along.  First I did was consult the owners manual, Canon does things differently than other brands, so Auto Exposure is Av, Shutter Priority is Tv (why I have no idea, it goes back

Test Driving my Birthday Present an Olympus OM-1

Image
  You're probably thinking, "Bill how many Olympus OM-1's do you own already?"  Well you should know better than to ask that question, I love my Olympus OM gear. This OM-1 is an early production example without the motor drive port, and I got it as a birthday present from my brother Alex in early Septmeber. I had an early Zuiko chrome nose 50 f1.8 lens which would be a perfect mate for this camera. The meter is dead but that's no big deal as I have a couple of different handheld light meters and at some point I plan to grab the clip on Reveni Labs meter for the hot shoe. Otherwise the shutter is strong and there are no spacing issues.  The camera strap is new, and is a pre production prototype woven by my friend and fellow photographer Dana Kayes. I'm in awe with her creative talent not only in photography but also in weaving. Within the Toronto Film Shooters community, few of us are lucky to get these custom camera straps. We've been out on photowalks tog
