Analog Therapy, Film Test, A Pow Wow, & A Folk Festival: Kodak Kodacolor 200 – Contax 137 MA Quartz – Zeiss & Yashica Glass.
Subtitle: Scenes seen, film edition.
The camera.
As stated in the blog title the Contax 137 MA Quartz…
…is my personal favorite SLR. A claim I do not make lightly since there are other SLRs I rather like. Had quite a few of them. But when things got out of hand and it came time to thin the SLR herd this is a camera that was going nowhere. Never once thought of selling it.
The lenses.
The 50mm f/1.7, also mentioned in the last link, and the Yashica CY 135mm f/2.8.
The film.
On my last trip to my local camera shop, Venu…
…asked if I had tried the new Kodak Kodacolor film. I had not. This needed to be addressed.
The occasion.
Scenes seen, a Pow Wow, and A Folk Festival.
Developed at home with Cinestill CS41, as usual.
Here are the pics.
Scenes seen with the ZEISS 50mm f/1.7, one of my all time favorite lenses.
On to the next day, the Yashica 135mm f/2.8. Starting with the Pow Wow.
Saw my friend Cesar.
On to a local fall festival briefly.
Thoughts.
Venus heard that it is rebranded Kodak Color Plus 200. If true, there are worse things because I rather like that film.
Regardless, I like this film.
Produces a clean image with little grain, good detail, and the shadows do not fall apart. No odd tone or odd color shift shenanigans or gimmicks. Just a solid image.
Welp. That is about it.
Another successful analog therapy session.
Happy capturing.
