Bill Smith's Photography

 Been ages since I shot with my Nikon F2 bodies as they all got packed away for the move. Once I got my gear back, of course I pulled out one of my F2AS' out of the storage bins to use. Coupled with my Voigtlander 40 f2 SL II Ultron lens along with Adox CHS 100 II, it was a winning combination for a photowalk on a bright sunny Saturday in July.  Camera: Nikon F2AS, Voigtlander 40 F2 SL II Lens.  Film: Adox CHS 100 II, FX-39 1+19

 We started on a sunny day but things got gloomier after lunch as in by the time I got back to Jo-Anne's the skies started to rain.  The other thing, my Canon 7sZ needs a CLA, I think I'm going to the 7s as well and get them both serviced. The 7sZ suffers from shutter bounce at random and some odd flare, you can sorta see in the corner when I use the late 1960s vintage 35 F2 lens, not on every frame but it's there. I should try that lens on my Canon P and my Leica M bodies and see what I get. That said my last experience with 50D was with Cinestill 50D with the RemJet removed. This is true motion picture stock with RemJet still in place and procesed in native ECN-2 chemistry. I like the results but I think 250D is the more practical film for still photography.  Camera: Canon 7sZ, Canon and Voigtlander Leica Screw Mount Lenses.  Film: Reflx Labs spooled Kodak Vision 50D, ECN-2 Processed by Graination Lab.  ...

  It was one of those, "not a cloud in the sky" summer scorchers, of course the Toronto Film Shooters held a photo walk, because, why not, we were stopping to sample Gelato (Gemma on Yonge St. is the place to go). We went down to the Belt Line Park to loop northwest to Eglinton.  Canon 7sZ, Canon and Voitlander Screw mount lenses.  Film: Reflx Labs spooled Eastman Kodak Vision 50 D, ECN-2 processed by Graination Lab.
