I like film. I like it a lot. But in saying that I know that digital has a place in my heart – when I want to try something out I’ll grab my D5000 and play – the worst thing that happens is that I delete the shots that didn’t work. I just can’t do that with film without forking piles of cash out in my testing.
In saying that I am now carrying the Olympus Trip 35 that I got on Monday with a roll of Kodak Professional Ektar 100 slide film. The shots taken on the UltraMax 400 film were spectacular – super clear (freakishly so) and lighted correctly. I still need to iron out the manual focus on it (you can’t see if it is in focus or not – you go off a guide for distance). The FTL didn’t far so well – there was something wrong with the shutter so in most of the shots were only half there. Oh well – they were free so I can’t complain!
I will have to get some of the photos scanned and put up – when I get the Ektar processed I will get it scanned at the camera store. Only a few more rolls to go and I’ll put in a bulk order!
