Digging up a Nikon FM2...

[Nikkie]

would love to see your results

[andylo]

Don't think I will be able to finish the other 3/4 so I will just roll it up and develop it tomorrow. Will upload the result tomorrow.

[Nikkie]

that is today now will keep coming back

Sorry for the delay - was a little busy an then AP was down due to upgrade or something....








First thing I realise from this experiment is - without VR, telephoto is difficult!

Out of 24 photos, only probably 14 is sharp (6 of them were completely destroyed due to me stuff up when try to reverse the used film back into the roll) Only 18 were developed.

The flare control of the lens is not exactly exceptional, but having say that - it seems film can record more dynamic range? Some of the sample were pretty much facing to the sun, but instead of complete dark shadow, I got quite a bit of details in the picture

I like the last two, the portraits turned out really nice.

[andylo]

Yep, I am kind of surprise how well the pics turn out. But I was hoping the neg scanner would be better. When I zoom in more the pixel is terrible

Get a holder and then take a digital photo of the transparency and you won't lose as much quality.

[andylo]

Good idea But I think I will just leave it as it is. A bit of learning experience and a bit of fun. Learn a few small things about how to achieve proper exposure - something we all read all the time in any photography technical article, but never really remember to do so

Got another 2 rolls to muck around with - but missus is not happy about the $13.95 cost for each roll to be processed.... plus she only kept the pics I took with the Canon on the same day
