First pics from Konica C-35

Got my pics back from Walgreens today from the newly acquired Konica C35 camera, and they look promising considering that this was Walgreens. The shots are from my recent trip to St. Petersburg, Fl. I don't like the expense or the loss of control when sending film out to be processed, but these cameras seem best suited for colour, and I'm not set up for that in my darkroom. After this I'll shoot traditional B&W and hand colour the prints. The film was that cheap Fuji 200 stuff.

This camera took a fall at some point before I purchased it, and the whole lens assy tilts downwards about 15 or 20 degrees, yet everything came out fine in the shots. Go figure.

The last pic is a bit of street art from South Daytona, where we live now. You may notice a little difference between this and the St. Pete street art, which is reason #987 why we're moving to St. Pete :]

Nice. Definitely performed well.

Look good and proved the camera is working.

When were you in St Pete? In the last couple of weeks there have been dozens of new murals in the central arts district. Cool stuff.

Here's my claim to fame from a year or two ago when they first started showing up (second pic): http://www.baynews9.com/content/new...ticles/bn9/2012/9/5/bold_bright_murals_p.html

You should be ok with black and white. This is one of the last shots I took with my Chinon 35EE aka Konica clone before the meter failed last week.
The automatic meter just about handled the tricky lighting with some burn out as the sun was very bright. HP5 in D76.

Fuji's consumer film can be very good. Colours are pop much and are quite vibrant. In my opinion, the Fuji stuff is far superior compared to Kodak Gold and Ultramax.

I agree. I especially like how the Fuji film renders green tones. For example, compared to the Kodak stuff, green foliage appears much richer, vibrant and better defined with the Fuji film.
