Olympus XA4 – Kentmere Pan 100
Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 10½ mins at 20°c.

The first image from a recently acquired Olympus XA4.

The Olympus XA series had passed me by until I received an XA (the rangefinder model) a few years ago from an EMULSIVE Secret Santa and since then I’ve picked up a couple of XA2s and now an XA4.

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8 and Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

Throwback Thursday… Coniston Water

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Six years ago it was the Cumbrian village of Coniston and Coniston Water.

The Steam Yacht Gondola is a much rebuilt Victorian, screw-propelled passenger vessel, launched in 1859. She was built to carry passengers for the Furness Railway’s steamer service and was in commercial service until 1936 when she was retired and 10 years later converted to a houseboat.

In 1979 she was extensively rebuilt by Vickers Shipbuilders of Barrow and is now operated by the National Trust.

Developed in Ilford DD-X at 1:4, 11½ mins at 20°c.

A little while back I picked up a Nikon F65 35mm SLR camera for wifey from Harrison Cameras and shot a test roll of film almost immediately… What I didn’t do quite as promptly however, was develop the film!

Better late than never eh?

An images from the first roll through a Chroma Cameras Cube pinhole camera… a roll that’s been in the camera since April last year!

The Cube will be the subject of a future blog post, it’s an interesting little beast.
