Bill Smith's Photography

 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. 

Alex Luykx, The Toronto Film Shooters Facebook Grop founder decided to take our 10 Anniversary Photowalk on the road to Guelph Ontario about an hour's drive away and it was a fun Sunday to reconnect with friends I haven't seen in a while and explore a town I usually roll through on the way to Elora. I chose my circa 1960 black Nikon F along with Kodak Ektar 100 as one of my camera choices for this walk and despite the challenging lightin conditions with sun and cloud, I got great results.  Lens wise, I used a tick mark Nikkor S 50 F2 which collectors love and it rendered colour well for a 62 year old lens.   Camera: Nippon Kogaku Nikon F, Nikkor S 50 f2 lens.  Film: Kodak Etkar 100.
