Bill Smith's Photography

 An unseasonably warm Sunday afternoon, didn't have to wear a winter jacket or wear gloves you have no idea how happy I was, as much as I like my winter photography gloves, shooting with them is more about protecting your fingers from frostbite than fine motor dexterity to work the camera controls.  I pulled my Nikon S3 2000 Rangefinder and shot with the Nikkor S Mount 50 F1.4 but shot most of the roll on an S Mount 35 F2.8 Voigtlander Color Skopar lens because the lens hood for the 50 F1.4 lens kept falling off on me. There has to be a 3D printed replacement out there somewhere. Voigtlander at the turn of the millennium released lense in Leica Thread mount (M39), M mount but also Contax C mount for your Zeiss Ikon IIa and IIIa and, Nikon S mount for their rangefinder system which is an almost clone of the Contax II and IIIa.  In the end it was a stunning day and I love the results I got.  Camera: Nikon S3 2000, Nikkor S 50 F1.4 lens, Voigtlander S Mount 35 F2.5 Colo...

 This was supposed to be a colour roll, but for whatever reason, the second roll of Superia 400 just would not advance in my Nikon SP, no idea why. That said Ilford HP5 400 when through like hot shit through a Canada Goose, so it could be user error, I think that is the probable cause, Either way my SP at some point this year will head off for a CLA.  Loved wandering through the Annex, usually it was the end point of a photo walk, I have to figure out a route the brings us in from a different direction, I have one germinating in my mind for later this year, maybe for the fall.   Camera: Nikon SP, Nikkor S Mount Lenses.  Film: Ilford HP5 400, Ilfotec HC 1+31.
