Got the kentmere from B&H, where I get the Delta is TBD. Usually buying from B&H or Freestyle. Usually it boils down to if I'm getting anything that ships ORMD like C41 kits. Freestyle will ship ORMD but B&H won't
Got another Watson bulk loader on the way. My current one has Kentmere 400 in it. Now that I'm getting good results, I want to load this new one with Delta 100.
Where are you buying your bulk film?
Got some film:
6 rolls of Fuji color
2 rolls of the new 110 film for sale at Filmphotography store for the Pentax 110
100 foot roll of Kentmere 400. My first attempt to use the bulk film loader I got on ShopGoodwill.
A Canon FD 135 mm f2 lens a few days ago, from a local shop,a rare and legendary lens that I part exchanged my 135 f 2.8 version for
It's a lens I have wanted for many years Ian the optical performance is legendary I called into my local used film camera shop shortly before they closed last Sunday and couldn't believe my eyes, I have been using Canon FD gear for more than 30 years and have never even seen one. I anticipate using the wide aperture performance for low light situations and make the best use of this ability for whatever situations present themselves.Good 135mm f2 lenses are rare, but interesting. Didn't Soligor sell a 135mm f1.8 lens that was a bit of a dog, I think there was a highly rated Polaris 135mm maybe f1.9 from memory,
You've done well, there's few 135mm lenses of good optical quality faster than f2.8. My fastest is a 135mm f2.5 Tamron but the lens you've bought would have been fantastic when I used to shoot theatrical productions and rock concerts but I was committed to M42 and then later Pentax K/M mount cameras.
Will you use it at the wider apertures?
Ian
