I guess focus is a bourgeois concept😂

ProImage 100 is actually made for hot climates and not needing cold storage, I think? Picked the right film for the job there😄 Also that lens is rather fabulous.

That'll do it😆 I somehow managed to bring the right films for the weather this time. That's not always the case🤪

6 rolls of 35mm film.

It's been a golden summer.

Must be Swedes😁

Thanks! Yes, that’s what I did here. But I was very sloppy with the metering😆

Love that film! I have two 100' rolls. I really like pushing it one stop for a little extra contrast.

Yeah, they are always sold out of bulk rolls at the Orwo online store. I have two UN54 ones in the fridge I bought a while ago. Gotta get bulking again soon.

Zone focusing this lens means nothing is actually in focus. Good for clouds and water, less good for trees😁

Agreed. I really like it for street photography with a warming filter. Shot some rolls of the Orwo branded NC500 when we lived in Germany for a while last year. Gotta buy some more of those😄

Ricoh GR2 camera.

Dug out the old GR2 again! Such a fun little camera😄 The auto focus is a little slow for cat photos though, unless they're napping😸

Same, but Tennent somehow always comes back😂

Pretty grainy film, but I love those colours!

When they went sugar free🤮

Keep an eye out for David Tennent.

Thanks!😄 The light was juuust right.

I could edit that autocorrect flub on Mastodon... just saying😁 @bsky.app

Forest with sunlight shining through tall trees and casting stripy shadows on the ground.

Into the woods... with 50mm tramlines and a 35mm lens😆

They seem a bit fast now. It's either that or the markings on the aperture ring are off by a stop or so. I'll try with a different lens and see if that helps.

A path along a house, surrounded by trees and bushes. Shadow close to the camera, bright sun further along the path. Black and white.

Sadly, the mystery film was a bust. The other ones definitely look like I shot them... still don't remember much, but we'll see when they dry. We've had a wicked heatwave, I've basically been a bit "dizzy" for a while😂

Yeah, my lab guy does that! I found a good technique so they don't misalign, but I did struggle a bit with that in the beginning.

I do that all the time!😄

I usually tape the rolls together with the little tape bit at the end of one of the rolls. That way they don't overlap. Matt Day called it "genius" when I commented on one of his videos. I have never felt more accomplished😄

I tried to figure out what it was. The leader looked like a b&w film with very grey base... Svema? Foma?🤨 We'll see!😅
