Undeterred by a recent low pic count with my last roll of film I went on to another roll of film.
A relatively late analog acquisition but I heart it just the same. <inhales deeply> A high quality film medium format camera with accurate autofocus, accurate auto exposure, an impeccable lens, and a built in flash all in a compact body that is light in hand and can be thrown in a camera bag pocket suitable for a small zoom… What’s not to like?
The film for the day was Rollei RPX 400. After being underwhelmed by the dark images produced when set to ISO 400 and using Cinestill df96. So this time out I went with ISO 200 with no development adjustment. The occasion was another father/son galavanting episode.
Still low light with a relatively low ISO and an f/4 lens. So once again a few images were lost. Add in user error while developing and there was some odd cloudiness… but I am good. Honestly, the photos were not the point. Spending time with my son was.
Here are the five surviving frames.
Follow up thoughts.
Another successful father/son galavanting episode… and the pictures are cool too.
Happy capturing.
