Atlanta Film Company Euphoric 100, Another Slide Film Option

 Shooting slide film is painful both in the process (you have to be spot on with exposure), E6 processing is more expensive and less common than C-41, the big pain point is the up front cost, Kodak (Alaris) E100 slide film sells for $41.50 CAD per roll at Downtown Camera in Toronto, yes we get hosed in Canada. Fujifilm slide film inventory is very hit or miss,  Downtown Camera is rationaing Velvia 50 and 100 for almost $30 CAD per roll. 

Now, don't fret, there are options, there are always options. Eastman Kodak makes 35mm Ektachrome 100 Daylight slide film which is the exact same stuff as Alaris Kodak's $41 roll of E100. Now you can only buy this in 400 foot bulk rolls. Not practical for the home user. The Atlanta Film Company who have been re-spooling Vision 50 and 250D and 500T ECN2 motion picture are offering Ektachrome 100 under the Euphoric label and also offer ECN2 cross processing at the Eastman Kodak Lab in Atlanta to get the same look as on the TV show Euphoria. 

I wanted to shoot my Eurphroic 100 as a slide film and the E-6 processing was done by E6it through Downtown Camera in Toronto. The turn around was two weeks. The results speak for themselves and in short, Wow! I plan to shoot a lot more slide when it makes sense to do so. 



Camera: Nikon F3/T, Nikkor AIS lenses. 

Film: Atlanta Film Co. Euphoric 100 (Eastman Kodak Ektachrome 100 motion picture stock).

Barnack Madness, What Was I Thinking?

Image
 My last adventures with Scewmount Barnack Leicas didn't end well, on the few occasions I tried my brother's IIIf and IIIg, I botched the loading and got 36 exposures on one frame. I was quite content to just shoot with my M3 and M4-2, even though I wanted to get a IIIg because Alex got dad's from the estate.  Logic has no place shooting with a Barnack Leica, if the cliche film photography slows you down, working with a III series body is an exercise in zen. First you have deal with bottom loading, wind the film advance before adjusting shutter speed and be careful where you point your camea as bright sunlight can incinerate a rubberized silk shutter cloth instantly.  That said, Joan at Burlington Camera had this red dial Leica IIIf from the mid 1950s with a pre war Elmar 50 F3.5 lens, on the used shelf, I saw it, handled the camera, and put it back. In a fit of camera GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) a few weeks later I came back in and bought the camera. I wonder if Joan...

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...

The New Addition to the Fleet, the NIkon FM2T

Image
 I didn't need a NIkon FM2T but I got one. I already have both a chrome and black Nikon FM2N bodies but being not only an analogue photographer I'm also a Nikon collector. Ok, the FM3a's are getting a little out of hand in the used market. As you have read over the past few months I've been on a gear acquisition tear this is more a prize. James over at Casual Photophile wrote a great pieec back in 2019 on the camera , and pretty much shares what I think, yeah, you don't really need this camera but if you're a Nikon collector you want one. The FM2T was only made from 1993 to 1997 and is a rare beast in the grand scheme of things compared to the FM2n which was made from 1989 to 2001. What the FM2T is a lighter and tougher version of the FM2N. with a titanium outer housing, like a regular FM2n it feels great in my hand. This particular example was spot on with the meter and did not take one bad photo at all.  Film wise I ran with Ilford Delta 100, I'm just tryi...
