A North of the City Last Summer

 

Another roll from last Summer but this time in colour. I have four Canon F-1's, two from the new era (1980s) and two from the 1970s. The oldest of the F-1's I have, has issues with the film transport, and some shutter bounce, it has been sent off for an overhaul. What you see here, has been fixed through the magic of Adobe Lighr Room's graduated filter. Otherwise, the end results look stunning. Canon FD glass just delivers. 

I love the 1970s Canon F-1's as they were Canon's answer to the Nikon F and F2 respectively and Canon glass, what is there to say that hasn't already been said. The sad thing is the motion picture industry is re-housing FD glass for cine use, so, Canon FD shooters, you better invesst in your lenses sooner than later. 

The day trip north of the city was part beer run to Second Wedge Brewing in Uxbridge, visiting an old university friend who lives in Newmarket and stopped by in downtown Schomberg on the way home. I just realized something, I haven't really explored the northeast part of Caledon, northwest part of York Region all that much. 

Canon F-1, FD Chrome Nose  50 f1.4 and SSC 28 F2 lens. 

Film: Kodak Color Plus 200.

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

Scotsdale Farm in the Fall

Image
  Been ages since I was last up at Scotsdale Farm. I needed a break from packing the house up. To shake things up, I went medium format with my Mamiya C220F on my hike, and shot one roll of colour, and another black and white. I would have shot both rolls of Lomo 400, but, I forgot the pack the second roll hence the Rollei RPX 400.  Hiking with a C220F is a pretty good workout and would do it again.  Camera: Mamiya C220F Twin lens Reflex Camera, Mamiya Sekor Lenses.  Film: L,omo 400 C-41. Rollei RPX 400, Ilfotec HC 1+31.
