Downtown Toronto and Harbourfront

The first downtown photowalk since the pandemic began. Riding in on the GO Train was uneventful and getting through Uniion Station was a breeze. The downtown core is still quiet and I have a quiet thought this will be the case for a long time to come. I met up with my friends from the mid week photowalk group and wandered down to Harbourfront. 

We thought the day was going to be ok weatherwise but the forecasters goofed and we got the rain and thunderstorms and had to duck into Waterpark Place while the storm rolled through. It was pretty much a coffee break in the grand scheme of things. 


Camera: Nikon F2AS, Nikkor Ais 35 f2 lens, Ai 105 F2.5 lens. 

Film: Ilford HP5 400, HC110 B.

Rollei 35, Rollei RPX 100 on the October Photo Walk

Image
 I got all three of my Rollei 35's serviced recently by @lensmedicyyc and packed the one with the 40 F3.5 Zeiss Tessar lens which is magical for black and white films. I went meta with Rollei RPX 100, because, why not?  The Rollei 35 to recap is a very compact zone focus camera, first made in Germany, then production in Singapore in the early 1970s. They came with the 40 f3.5 Zeiss Tessar lens wich as mentioend above great for black and white film, the 40 F2.8 which has always been made in Singapore, made for colour film and a limited production of Schneider Xenar 40 F3.5 lens in the early 1970s.  The camera due to its design is ass backwards with loading from right to left which makes scanning the negatives a treat as you have to start at the end of the roll and go to the beginning. Zone focusing takes some practice but it's not hard to get the hang, just make sure you check to see the measurement is in feet or metres, that will matter, a lot.  That said, I love my Rollei 35&#

Second Roll of Aerocolor IV (Flic Film Elektra 100)

Image
 I bought a bunch of Flic Film Elektra 100 after shooting a roll of Santa Color 100 late last fall down in Niagara on the Lake  with my good Canon New F-1. I packed a two rolls gifting one roll to my brother Alex before heading south on vacation for a week. This time around my second adventure of Kodak Aero Color IV at a different time of the year.  Again, I shot at "box speed" at 100 ISO only this time through my Nikon F3/T. This time I loved the results even more, not just because it went through a different camera system. I think back late last November there was more infrared light in the spectrum due the time of year thus influencing the colour cast of the Aero Color 1V. Shooting the second roll in late March gave me a lot more the look I adored. Due to the polyester base Aero Color IV is easy to scan, you can almost colour correct during the scanning process, reducing your work flow a bit at the other end in Lightroom. Again being a polyester base, you want to load thi

The Trip Back Down HIghway 35 from Dwight to Minden.

Image
 Alright, this isn't the last of my NLP 2023 set of photos, I have two rolls of slide film out being processed and they are a tad late. They are going to get scanned eventually.  I rolled with the Nikon FM2/T on the trip home and to be honest, it just delivered with Kodak Portra 160, I've fallen in love with this emulsion, hard. I do plan to buy more next year, just as I'm going to buy more motion picture stock Ektachrome 100.  Camera: Nikon FM2/T, Nikkor AIS lenses.  Film: Kodak Portra 160
