I’d like to start with the camera. What a champion! This Canon has a wonderful sharp lens at 38mm f/2.8. The autofocus is spot on and it is the perfect size for a jacket pocket. The only extra option I would have liked to see is a telephoto zoom like the Minolta AF-Tele. The film I used was Fuji C200 film.
Now to the pictures. I took it to Seattle a couple of times out for some nightlife time. The best part about the camera was how unintrusive it was because of its size. No one was intimidated by it and there for I didn’t get much objection when taking a picture.
The flash fills in really nicely with out blowing out the highlights and that worked great for shots like this and like the one below.
If I were to use this for strictly night life photography I would be perfectly happy doing so. Another nice feature of this camera is the fact that it uses two AA batteries. Other cameras of this time used specialty batteries and are expensive and nearly impossible to find in the first store you visit.
This would be a good project to do while partying in downtown Seattle, photographing all the people in different streetwear. So much great style out there it deserves to be documented.
Here are a couple of photos that aren’t night life related.
All these film negatives were scanned by the Epson V550. The quality of the scans are great, the software, not so good. Actually the software that comes with it is atrocious and causes the scan process that should only take 10 minutes to over 30 if you forget to move the mouse. I’m still looking for another program that will work better with the scanner.
For the next update I shot using a Olympus Stylus 120. It was quick and easy to use. The negatives look sharp. Look out for the scans in the next post.
Until then my Paisanos,
