Nikon Zoom 310AF QD, Nikon Zoom 35-70mm f/3.5-6.5 at 70mm – Kentmere Pan 400
Developed in Ilford DD-X at 1:4, 11½ mins at 20°c.

I had this Nikon Zoom 310AF QD in the drawer for years but only in January did I put a roll of film through it!

I’m quite pleased with the results, the lens is sharp (or sharp enough) and the exposures all look fine…

A camera to use more often I think!

Throwback Thursday… Turning of the Tide, Sidmouth

Nikon D600, NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8 Ai-S, 10s, f8, ISO 100

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

12 years ago it was this seascape at Sidmouth in Devon, using (I think) an ND 3.0 (10-stop) filter to lengthen the exposure time.

Editing this pic in Lightroom reminded me (again) of how dirty the sensor on the D600 used to get… definitely the worst camera I’ve ever owned for that!

Developed in Ilford DD-X at 1:4, 9 mins at 20°c.

We spent a very enjoyable week in East Lothian in September, staying a two minute stroll from Port Seton Harbour. We had a wander down there every day, sometimes to beachcomb, sometimes for fish & chips…

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.
