First roll through my Franka II with the Xenar lens. The uncoupled rangefinder turned out to be right on. Somehow this camera just feels right; better than others I have owned. I think it is the front door that folds down instead of to the side. That and the small size.
I circled this sundial half a dozen times before deciding on this angle.
Gotta love the patina on the figures - needed good exposure to get that so clear. All that circling paid off - nicely composed in the camera and with good use of depth of field avoiding the messy background.
I'd be printing these and handing them around my friends at the pub for inspection. Oh, and sticking to Kodak 400NC. You've had a good day or so at your locations. Are they all around the same place?
All the shots were taken on the campus of the Cranbrook Art Academy in Michigan.
I was testing a Canonet GIII QL17 with XP2 film and a Franka II with Kodak 400 NC (Portra). New cameras and new film choices to me. It was a learning experience where I was not rushed and I could go over all the composition rules in my head and try to employ them. I learned a hard lesson about taking pictures of dark objects though.
