Canon EOS 30, EF 40mm f/2.8 STM, 1/350s, f5.6 – Ilford Delta 400 Professional rated at ISO 800
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 10½ mins at 20°c.

I’m amazed that Paul Day’s wonderful sculpture The Meeting Place at St Pancras station hasn’t featured here before… Obviously this is just a part of the sculpture but I’d only got a 40mm lens with me that day and couldn’t fit any more in!

The Canon EOS 30/EF 40mm f/2.8 STM combo is probably my favourite camera for snapshots at the moment, I’ve used it quite a bit this summer…

A little while ago I was sent a couple of rolls of Rollei Variochrome slide film to play with and to say I’m not impressed with the results are a massive understatement!

One roll was exposed at a classic car rally on a bright autumn day and although I didn’t have high hopes I did at least have some hopes of decent images… I mostly bracketed one stop either way of the meter reading and the above image is the ‘best’ of the lot!

The images are dull, lifeless, very grainy and not one is ‘correctly’ exposed and all these problems seem to have been noted by pretty much everyone who’s tried this film… I’m definitely in no hurry to expose the second roll!
