A Saturday in December

 I thought this was my last roll of Ilford Delta 100, the bane of bulk rolling, you want to be truly finished the old rolls, once done I'm switching over to FP4 for the classic grain structure. For kicks and giggles I did a one stop push to 200 ISO to buy me more speed with gloomy weather. I've never pushed Delta 100 before, Acros 100 in 120 by accident once. I'm pleased with the results, yes, I plan to push FP4 in the future once I get to start that bulk roll. 

The camera of choice was my Nikon F90X with AF-D 50 F1.8, the cheap and cheerful nifty fifty lens that punches like a heavyweight for its price point. The one downfall, the batteries died so I lost the last six frames. The big upside AA's are plentliful as dirt, that said the batteries died on my to the Eglington subway station for the trip home. 

As mentioned, I thought this was the last roll of bulk rolled Delta 100, I was wrong, one was found on my desk There are fresh batteries in the F90X, lets do a "one more kick at the can". 


Camera: Nikon F90X, Nikon AF-D 50 F1.8 lens. 

Film: Ilford Delta 100 pushed one stop to 200 ISO, Ilfotec HC 1+31.

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
