As stated in a recent post…

This Old Camera Twofer: Two Canon SLRs Return Courtesy of The Kindness of a Friend.

…a friend gifted me some film gear.

I received two zoom lenses.

• Vivitar FD 28-70mm f/3.5-4.8 Macro
• SIGMA FD 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 w/ case

I tested both of these lenses.

I swiftly ran through a roll of film with the first lens above. But in the midst of testing the second lens after I obtained enough images for a blog post I switched to the Canon FD 50mm f/1.8.

Ah, back home. Nifty fifties will always be my preference with film SLRs.

The film.

Fujifilm 400 developed with Cinestill CS41.

The camera.

I like looking at and holding the classic Canon AE1 Program. I prefer using the T70.

The reason is simple. Program Tele mode which leans towards shooting a lens as wide open as possible.

The occasion.

An intern I mentor at my day job…

…told me about a car show this weekend. He planned to have a car in the show. Count me in.

The pics.

Thoughts.

Nifty fifties never disappoint.

Also a great event and great cars.

Happy capturing.
