I said in an earlier post that if my goal was to burn through 120 film at an unprecedented pace the GA645 has been a roaring success.
I may have taken this too far yesterday. Four rolls of film in about the same amount of hours or less.
I have a few local haunts that I use as baseline testing sites for new to me gear. Even though it was just above brick (Where I am located anyway.) I decided to layer up and hit a few of them in one day yesterday. Was on a food run errand for the Mrs. while I was at it.
As also mentioned previously I have had a larger than usual number of self owns with this camera. So I took care and paid close attention to what I was doing and was successful. No silly unforced errors this time out.
- Took my time loading film so no fat roll issues.
- Remembered to adjust the ISO when loading a new roll of film.
- No absent minded opening of a loaded camera while taking product pics.
- Unlike most of my film cameras this one has stayed loaded with film so I will let this go for now.
Cool.
For this roll I went with a lovely film, CatLABS X FILM 100 Color, and it was developed with Cinestill CS41. I really like the way this film renders colors. A great warm tone that I like a lot. A recent entry into my top five favorite films. I started this roll off at the end of roll 2 in “downtown” Durham. Here are the surviving pics from the roll.
A good result.
While I am having a lot of fun this could get pricey if I keep this pace up. But I am not bothered by that all for now.
Happy capturing.
