35mm Film reborn - thanks to the Canonet 28 from the charity shop :)

Picked up some film for the cheap canonet 28 , 35mm rangefinder we found ( see previous report ) and went out and blasted off a whole film , whoooooppeeeee 36 shots lol ( were used to taking 1000+ per day with our Digital SLRs so this seems a little silly ) , the rangefinder takes a little getting used to lining images up and all that and the not being able to shoot if the shutter speed goes above 1/800 sec was at first a little limiting but learnt to deal with it. Moral of the story - dont just buy 400 film , need some 100 and 200 aswell lol , today was very sunny !

anyway went to tesco and was rather pleased with the amazing 1 hour service + photos on disk , so heres a few shots from the old girl ...

An old door , some lovely detail in this , tho the small 6x4 images tesco give you on cd are a little limiting for digital publishing...

A lamp and some leaves , some quite tricky contrast and shadow here for the old girl to manage but she managed good , tho my canon 5dm2 would walk all over it , still a good shot tho

This shot shows really well the ever present grain in the iso400 film , this is Fuji Velvia so not the worst film , the colours have also come out very saturated compared to the actual scene , not sure how much tesco scanning process has to do with this tho , would need to know how they get these photos on to disk

and this is a nice rendition and matches pretty well what the scene looked like


all in all well done to the little canonet !

time for a real test very soon we think , maybe some black and white film next ... :)
