Roll 153: GF670W with Delta 400 developed in Rodinal. A couple of old subjects in better light and a couple of new ones.
I'll spend the next couple of weeks characterizing Delta 400, T-max 400, HP5, and Tri-X for ISO 400. Those same films will then be characterized at ISO 1600 and with any luck compared to Delta 3200 also at ISO 1600. It would be super cool if one of the ISO 400 films would work well at ISO 1600 as that would cut down on inventory. Not sure what the results will be given that I am using Rodinal.
Well, I have too many cameras. Most have not been shot in years. Often times, I forget I have loaded a roll, misplace the camera, etc. Located my oly XA4 this winter and noticed I had a roll of film in it. Turned out to be kentmere 400. Developed in D76 1:1, pakon scan.
Tale of 2 bikes. My old 1090, sold last year (From 2 winters ago) and this past spring on the new t7.
Mine lens is decentered. The upper left corner has awful smearing at least at 28mm on every shot. Bummed because otherwise it is in perfect condition and handles really well. Happy to hear yours is good though.

Eh... It's not great. A small portion of the lens cover wont fully retract. Everything zoomed past 28 is useless. It might just be lack of film speed. I might try some B&W 400, keep it at 28mm and use snap/infinity buttons more often.

That looks great! Sure it is smeary on the sides, but normally you would have to buy a $350 Lomo lens for that.
You got it for $17, including a camera and roll of film!

Every P&S zoom camera that I have is pretty much used as a fixed focal length camera on the default lens setting.
Whether it is the mighty Rollei QZ 35W, the Samsung AF Slim Zoom or the Pentax Espio 24EW.
