Bill Smith's Photography

 I like this walk from Graination and it's variants to the Annex because there's a lot to shoot. My favourite is the alleyway between Brunswick and Borden Streets. Some ways I regretted packing Delta 400 but I had the CCR episode where we talked about T grained film . Of course I'll be returning with colour film on a high overcast day.  Will I shoot more Delta 400, on occasion, yes. I think though I rather I'll buy Delta 100 for cost reasons. because Delta 400 is hovering around $19 CAD per roll and it will go through my Nikon F5.  Camera: Nikon F3/T Nikon AIS mount Lenses.  Film: Ilford Delta 400, Ilfotec DDX 1+4. 

 We had a great April photo walk with the Toronto Film Shooters, some faces I haven't seen in years surfaced and we also had some new people join us. The route took us from Graination Lab at the south end of Chinatown on Spadina, through Kensington Market eventually winding up in the Annex.  The camera of choice was my Nikon F3/T and shot Ilford Delta 400, a film I don't use all that often but we were talking about T grained films on the Classic Camera Revival, made sense to shoot with some, I'm muse more on my Substack. I wanted a camera with an accuate meter, the F3/T delivered though if I really wanted perfection, I should have ran with my F4 or F5, but the shooting experience would have been different, and the F3/T is a lot less noticeable when you're walking through Kensington Market.  Camera: Nikon F3/T, Nikkor AIS 20 F2.8 lens, Voigtlander 40 F2 SL II Ultron Lens.  Film: Ilford Delta 400, Ilfotec DDX 1+4.  ...
