Contax RX + Kodak 200

April 22, 2012

Not much to say here, just enjoying the new (old) gear.

More Contax snaps: two B/W films

April 21, 2012

I’m just enjoying film a lot lately, 35mm specifically, and so I may not be posting the most awesome photos you’ve ever seen (which is different than normal, of course, when I routinely post the most awesome photos you’ve ever seen). Still really pleased with the Contax RX, and I want to run a bunch [...]

New Contax + Fuji Superia

April 19, 2012

Just a few snapshots. I’ll be shooting as much as possible with this newly-repaired camera, to convince myself it’s really fixed. I’m really impressed that this lens is a zoom. It’s even a great portrait lens, all through the zoom range. One shot below was converted to B/W in Photoshop, because I really like the [...]

Contax RX: From my first roll

April 18, 2012

I thought I would share a few photos from the first real roll through the new Contax, the repair of which I detailed in my last post. The idea behind these photos, more than anything else, was to confirm I had good focus and functionality, and my mirror box didn’t blow up on me. Since [...]

New Contax RX + Repair

April 18, 2012

In search of a great film body, I somehow got fixated on the Contax RX, and after getting the refund from returning the MZ-S, I found an RX on eBay, along with a Contax-Zeiss Vario-Sonnar zoom lens, the 28-85/3.3-4. The camera is almost everything I want. Big, solid, beautiful. I wish there was a grip [...]

Pentax: Awesome

April 12, 2012

As previously mentioned, I like the FA Limiteds so much that I’ve been trying to find a solid film SLR to attach them to. Pentax is not Nikon, and it’s becoming clear that they never produced a film body that will totally thrill me. Their so-called “flagship” SLR, the MZ-S, was a major disappointment. I [...]

Kodak BW400CN (C-41 process B & W)

April 12, 2012

I haven’t had a lot of time to update my posts here, but I have been shooting lots of film, and loving it more with every roll. In fact, I think if I never shot professionally, I would get rid of my digital gear. The whole process of film is so enticing for me. Also, [...]

New camera: Pentax PZ-1

March 26, 2012

As much as I admire the antique gear, and the fact that I can still make great images with it, sometimes I want the camera to get out of my way when I’m shooting. Most importantly, I don’t want to have to worry about advancing the film. For getting out of the way and letting [...]

Workbench

February 22, 2012

I’ve been so enamored of my Holga lately that haven’t shot the Bronica much at all (check out my new Holga site, BTW). There was a roll of long-expired Ilford Delta 3200 in it, and I had no real idea what was even on it. I developed the roll yesterday. Big ugly stripe across the [...]

Rachel, Fomapan, Strobes

February 10, 2012

I have never done any film work for a paid shoot, and since I moved away from strobes long before coming to film, I’ve also never used strobes with film before. Rachel decided to change that this week. She wanted her shots done on film, and she also wanted classic Hollywood portrait lighting. She specifically [...]
