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!

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.

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?
