Konica Big Mini, Konica 35mm f/3.5 – JCH Street Pan 400
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 9 mins at 20°c.

I recently dropped my Konica Big Mini and apart from a couple of tiny scratches it appeared to have survived my clumsiness but of course the true test would come from further use…

This roll of JCH Streetpan 400 had been in the camera for a while so I decided to finish it off during a stroll around town, thankfully the camera seems to be working fine.

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.

Developed in Adox FX-39 II at 1:9, 10 mins at 20°c.

I really should spend more time in my local park, it’s a lovely spot to soak up the sun and watch the world go by…

The Crossley Park bandstand dates from 1999 and regular brass band concerts are held in it during the summer months. It replaced the 1937 original that was destroyed by fire in 1997.

Nikon F-301, Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 Ai-S, 1/500s, f16 – Ilford Delta 400 Professional rated at ISO 800
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 10½ mins at 20°c.

An image from last January, shoppers cast shadows along Fargate in Sheffield…

Even with the 105mm’s built-in lens hood there’s still a reduction in contrast and a little flare but I quite like it.
