Bill Smith's Photography

 Returing back to the Walk through Harbord Village,  Little Korea and back into the Annex, I realized I have the bones for a photo walk for the Toronto Film Shooters. I loved shooting with the F2AS, if you ask me what the ride or die system would be, removing weather extremes, it would be the Nikon F2. Haven't shot with Adox CHS 100 II for a while, the light was almost two contrasty but there was hardly any clouds in the sky.  Camera: Nikon F2AS, Voigtlander 40 F2 Ultron SL II Lens.  Film: Adox CHS 100 II, 1+19. 

 I finally got around to shooting some Harmon Phoenix 200 this Summer, I shot around the neighbourhood with this roll in both sunny and overcast environments. I used my Nikon F90X with Nikon AF-D lenses: 20 F2.8, 50 F1.4 and the 70-210 F4-5.6 saw some action.  First off, Phoenix 200, is not a 200 ISO film. Just because it says 200 ISO on the box, doesn't mean it's a true 200 ISO film, using my F90X and Matrix Metering, I exposed the film at 125 ISO and probably coul have done 100 with equally good results and Graination Photo Lab in Toronto's Chinatown processed normally. The negatives don't have the usual orange mask and at first glance they look almost black and white. I scanned the negatives with my Epson V600 with Vuescan interface software and drivers. You are going to get the best results doing your own scanning to get desired results you want.  Secondly this is Harmon's first C-41 negative film, if you were expecting Portra 400, yeah, no, we're in Lomogra...
