Quite an interesting idea. I may have a few scientific calculators lying around whose solar cells can be ripped off and soldered together....
Quite an interesting idea. I may have a few scientific calculators lying around whose solar cells can be ripped off and soldered together....Our film cameras require so little power compared to modern digital cameras and smartphones. I'm sure it really shouldn't be too difficult to solder-up a small rechargeable Lithium battery pack to a tiny solar cell. Modern solar cells would probably charge the battery faster than the camera is depleting it unless you live it a cave. Just needs a bit of thought on how to implement it. Never be left without power again.

Well I got results from first roll.
These negatives were pretty thick and it took quite a bit of witchcraft to get them looking halfway decent. I got usable images though so all's well.
Good job making the best of the situation.
Great photos you did well.
If that the look of 135 HP5+ then I would never use it.Thanks! I'm scanning roll two as we speak.
Question though. Is this the look of 135 HP5+ or do I need to shoot at a lower speed to cut through the fog of age? I've never shot fresh HP5+ so I have nothing to compare.

I wouldn't use that old stock film any further. Fresh HP5+ is wonderful. You owe it to yourself to use the fresh stuff.
For an F-Mount Tele-Converter, the TC-14a is small, only loses 1Stop. With most Nikon TeleConverters you need to match to certain focal length ranges for optimal use.

Some of the photos at the bottom of this album are with the Micro-Nikkor-Zoom 70~180 and the TC-14a. Used manual focus as the TC-14a is Ai coupled, but not AF.
If you have an F3AF the TC-16 is good- BIZARRE, but good.
Using the cold weather battery pack for the F3 gives a Truckload of power. It screws into the battery chamber in the body.
Two AA's fit the pack and it has a ~3' cable to the camera.
