Nikon F-801s, AF Nikkor 24-50mm f/3.3-4.5 at 50mm, 1/15s, f11 – Fujifilm Neopan Across II
Developed in Ilford DD-X at 1:4, 9 mins at 20°c.

An image from a recent(ish) trip to Sheffield… I love the tiled ‘Gilmour’s Windsor Ales’ sign, one of a few still to be found in the area (Gilmour’s was a Sheffield brewery acquired by Joshua Tetley & Son Ltd in 1954).

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.

From the sublime (the Fujica GW 690 Professional) to the ridiculous for this week’s ‘Fujica Friday’ post… the 110 Fujica Pocket 350 Zoom (a camera I still need to write a post about!)

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.

Seagull WWSC-10, Haiou 75mm f/3.5 – 1/60s, f11, – Fuji Velvia RVP 50 (expired August 1997)

An image from Expired Film Day 2023.

A couple of years ago a pal (Hi Simon!) gave me a quantity of Fuji Provia RDP II 100 and Velvia RVP 50 slide film that had all expired in 1997 or 1998. A bit of research suggested exposing it at box speed and cross my fingers for reasonable results.

Even though I bracketed my exposures this year, every frame of this roll is terribly underexposed… atmospheric though!
