Analog Therapy/Vintage Digital Bender (3 of 3): Analog Therapy Edition – Fujifilm GA645 Professional – (Gifted) Kodak Ektar 100

Scroll down to content

And we all know that gifted film is the best film. Expired but it came out just fine.

I recently stated that I would not be discussing newer gear as much going forward, but two categories will that will remain are:

  • Vintage Digital
  • Analog Therapy

A recent visit to a small town for a photo walk with a friend, Anthony, included both. A small town that sounds like a ‘cuss if you say it too fast, Fuquay-Varina… Hehe.. <ahem> As I was saying. The photo bender. The first post was about my vintage digital choice for the evening, this older variant of this camera over a few posts.

ZEISS Planar T* 50mm f/2 ZM

A camera that was upgraded from a specialty solution ill suited to daily use to a regular companion with a recent acquisition.

I refer you to the link above for more background but this is one of the best lenses I have ever used.

This post and the last are with a recent favorite.

The first roll of film this day was Kodak Ektar 100 developed with Cinestill CS41.

Enough of that for now. On to the photos.

But first…

Sidebar: The original intent for this photo walk was a digital side by side with the lens above and a similar ZEISS lens in another mount. I had done a recent film side by side with the lenses

ZEISS Planar f/2 X 2 (G & ZM)

that made this comparison near pointless. (Spoiler alert: I did not see a huge difference.) Then on the way I realized that I had brought the wrong ZEISS G lens… But I was relieved. Left us to use other gear. Will I still do the comparison? Likely not. I am good.

Here is part 3. Nothing Earth shattering. Just some scenes seen while Anthony and I rambled on about many random topics.

Another successful scenes seen fueled analog therapy fit.

Happy capturing.
