Toronto Photo Walks Riverside-Corktown Photo Walk March 2026 Part Two

 I know the snob segment of the Leica rangefinder community look down on third party glass, Light Lens Labs, makes great lenses. Voigtlander has made M mount lenses since the very late 1990s and I'm blown away with the results from 28 F2.8 Color Skopar and the 90 F2.8 APO-Skopar lenses.

The reason why I picked up the 28 F2.8 Color Skopar because I can't use the Light Lens Lab 9 element 28 F2.8 "Elmarit", bad things would happen as in you demolish the meter sensor. You don't have that problem with the Color Skopar lens. I reserve the Light lens Labs 28 for my M6 and use the Voigtlander on my M2 and M5, the M4-2 is neutral ground. 

My 28 F2.8 Color Skopar is great for street work and architecture. The 90 F2.8 APO-Skopar is a short-sh telephoto lens, a lower cost alternative to the 90 F2.8 Elmarit. The construction is solid and the one frame I did shoot on this series was nice and sharp, I think I was around F8 in aperture. I need to try that lens for portraiture and selected landscapes. 


Camera: Leica M2, 50 F2 Dual Range Summicron, 90 F2.8 Voigtlander Apo-Skopar Lens, 28 F2.8 Voigtlander Color Skopar Lens. 

Film: Rollei RPX 400, Rollei Supergrain 1+15.

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 Canon EOS 1n, the Camera that Made Life Difficult for Nikon

Image
I want to thank Ori Carmona, a friend and fellow Facebook Group adminstrator for Canon Film Photography for me to try out. So, my first serious camera was a Canon Rebel XS, your classic plastic fantastic from the late 1990s, once I went to manual focus, I never really used that camera again. Fast forward 20 years and with collection of camera gear from a variety of brands, I sort of saw myself as a Nikon fan boy with a soft spot for Canon FD mount gear and really loved shooting other brands like Minolta, Olympus and Pentax. I never shot with a pro grade Canon EOS mount camera, I do own a Nikon F4 which sadly has developed really bad LCD bleed on both displays so she's toast. Ori loaned me his camera to try out. Yes this camera made Nikon's life very difficult, and probably the reason why the F5 came along.  First I did was consult the owners manual, Canon does things differently than other brands, so Auto Exposure is Av, Shutter Priority is Tv (why I have no idea, it goes back ...

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...
