During week #23 and #24 we visited my in-laws in Athens, Greece for the christening of my nephew. I went all out and shot three rolls of 35mm in two weeks. At least for me that’s quite a lot. 😉 I also tried to get used to the 35mm focal length. As it turned out…
In week 21 & 22 we went on a holiday in Austria. It was my uncle’s 70th birthday, the yearly family reunion and both daycares were closed. We went to a tiny vineyard close to Graz, Austria and we had the most relaxing holiday. Minolta Dynax 9xi, 50mm f/1.7, Agfa Vista 400, developed and scanned…
I had so much fun with the Bronica SQ-Ai and the 80mm f/2.8 in week 19 that I shot with the same combo the week after as well. And I shot Ilford HP5+ again. It’s becoming my go to film. I think I can stop buying anything else. 🙂
After enjoying shooting with the Bronica SQ-Ai so much I decided to get a 80mm f/2.8 lens for it. The setup I inherited “only” included a 65mm, 100mm, and 150mm lens. And the great thing about Bronica gear is that it’s dirt cheap! I paid 30€ for the 80mm lens. So in week #19 is…
I’m back! Sorry for being absent. We’ve been on two holidays and so I delayed sending out my films for a while. In the end I sent out 11 rolls in total. As they say: Stay broke shoot film. 😉 Anyway, for week #18 I decided to take out the Pentacon Six again. I had…
During week #17 I shot a roll of Fuji Acros 100 in the Bronica SQ-Ai with the 100mm f/4. I had planned to then develop it as BW slide film as described by 52rolls alumni Mike. But then I thought better of it and just sent it to out be developed as standard BW film.…
For week 16 I used the Bronica SQ-Ai again. This time I tried the 65mm f/4 lens. A lens that I hadn’t used before. I didn’t have as many keepers as is some other weeks, but there were still quite a few nice shots. Bronica SQ-Ai, 65mm f/4, Ilford HP5+, developed and scanned by meinfilmlab.de.
For week #14 I finally went back to the Bronica SQ-Ai. This time around I left the prism and the grip at home and just used the WLF and the crank and the awesome 110mm f/4. This made the camera much, much lighter and the finder also a lot brighter. I also left my meter…
Let’s jump ahead to week #13 while I procrastinate instead of developing my rolls for week #10 and #11. For that week I shot a roll of Fomapan 100 in the Minolta SRT303 that Torsten Kathke so kindly lent me. It has a bit of a weird place in my collection. Not completely manual like…
When the father in law of a friend of mine died he left a whole darkroom and a small camera collection. They didn’t know what to do with it so they asked me. And now I’m the proud owner of a fully equipped darkroom and a beautiful Bronica SQ-Ai kit with three lenses. On week…
My last post was about week 9. Week 10 and 11 were probably black and white films so they’re not yet developed. But who cares, let’s just jump ahead to week 12. 🙂 Most images are again private as they involve my kids, but I tried to at least shoot a few that I could…
I guess you have to start somewhere. My initial plan for this year was to only shoot with my Travelwide. And for weeks 1-6 I managed to do that. But these sheets aren’t printed yet and some aren’t even developed. I also shot some 35mm and 120 black and white film in weeks 7,8, and…
52 rolls
