Adventures in Film

[dkoyanagi]

This is a continuation of my dive into film photography. You will recall in part 1 (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=120427)I was shooting with my new film camera, a Bronica GS-1 6x7 camera. Since then my pursuit of film has gone to a whole new level. I noticed that my Bronica, while very compact for a MF camera, wasn't quite as small and portable as I would like. I decided to add a 35mm to my film experience. Now, a sane person with my collection of Canon EF lenses would buy a used film Rebel for ten bucks, shoot a few dozen rolls until the itch passes, then throw the Rebel in a closet, and never speak of it again. Unfortunately, my insanity and APUG has lead me to the world of rangefinders. (gasp!)

It's a brand new Voigtlander R3M with 40mm f/1.4. This is a really fun camera to shoot.

It's a really big world.
Tri-X 400

I know I'm supposed to stick with one film/developer combination until I can achieve consistent results, but I'm having too much fun experimenting with different films. I've tried TMAX 100, TMAX 400, TRI-X 400, but I keep coming back to Neopan 400. It's still my favorite b&w film. I've even tried my hand at push processing. I'm staying with D76 as my film developer for the moment.

I love the Cherry Blossoms shot.
Interesting how not that long ago everyone used Film Camera's now just about everyone uses Digital .... that transition from Film to Digital seemed to happen every quickly.

Your shots look great, the camera looks kinda weird :rofl
I kept my old film camera's just for keepsake.

Thanks for sharing your adventure with Film with us :thumb ... Skippy :D

I still have my Canon film camera--it just doesn't work anymore. :cry This is a great series. I also like the cherry blossoms shot--I'd never have thought of cherry blossoms in B&W but I think it worked quite well. Looking forward to your next adventure!
