Bill Smith's Photography

 One August Wednesday I decided to do another walk down to the Brickworks from home. Instead of doing the Mud Creek Ravine Belt Line Trail, I cut through Moore Park and Rosedale and took the trail from Chorely Park down to the Brickworks below.  I chose to shoot Ados CHS 100 II, a great film throgh my Leica R6, it reminds me of Efke 100 from Croatia but with better queality control. I hope it's back in stock soon. At the moment it's only available at Fotoimpex's Berlin retail store, everywhere else, out of stock. I'll have to be selective when I shoot CHS 100 II until inventory with local retailers improves. The R lenses, rendered this film well espeically with the Brickworks Flower in the window and the early 1970s Corvette in Moore Park (whcih was blue btw).  Camera: Leica R6, 3 Cam Leica R lenses.  Film: Adox CHS 100 II, FX39 1+9.  ...

 A mid Summer walk around my neighbourhood and I brought dad's Nikon F out off the shelf for a workout. While I love Adox CHS 100 II, with the bright almost cloudless skies and running with mostly Sunny 16 and on occasion a Sekonic L398a found the photos a little too contrastly. Adox CHS 100 II unlke say Ilford FP4 or Kodak Tmax 100, Fomapan 100 or Rollei RPX 100, is not quite as forgiving and yoiu want to shoot with a camera with an accurate meter.  Camera: Nippon Kogaku Nikon F, Nikkor Pre AI lenses.  Film: Adox CHS 100 II, FX39 1+9.
