Bill Smith's Photography

 Rollei 35's make the best photo walk camera, sometimes, when you want to reduce decision making and work with just one focal length. Two the light was so damn bright this late October afternoon, Cinestill 400D just plain sang with the Zeiss 40 f2.8 Sonnar lens.  I didn't quite nail every shot 100% and I had light strike on the first three frames, one I salvaged in the magic of cropping, one sadly didn't get scanned and the third, I just lived with it.  Camera: Rollei 35S, 40 f2.8 Zeiss Sonnar Lens.  Film: Cinestill 400D, processed at Graination Lab. 

   I found a new combo,  ORWO UN54 and Ilfotec DDX 1+4. since I moved into a condo, making 3.8-5L of stock solution for D76/ID-11 wasn't all that practical. I love shooting with ORWO's UN54 100, which is a black and white motion picture stock that savvy film photographers leveraged. Lomography spools it up under the Lomo Potsdam label and it had a developing time of nine minutes at 20c with a 1+4 dillution with Ilfotec DDX.   The Rollei 35S was the perfect back up camera for the October Toronto Film Shooters photo walk. The main body was my Nikon F5 and I was shooting Kodak Ektachrome 100 slide film through that. I shot more with the Rollei 35 post walk along Spadina and in my neighborhood.  Camera: Rollei 35S, Zeiss 40 F2.8 Sonnar Lens.  Film: ORWO UN54, Iflotec DDX 1+4.
