Fewer words, more pictures.
Testing Olympus XA1, the cheapest and the simplest one of them. Works fine and is fantastically small and light. Everytime I stick it to my face to take a picture I'm staring at nothing, because I'm so used to viewfinder to the left side of the camera, not the center. Fun times
With 100 ISO film I managed to get some blurred shots. Next time I plan to try Ilford Pan 400, just to be safe.
This is the blurred example.
Foma 100 likes to go with the sun, I guess.
Here I'm trying Ilford Pan 400 for the first time. Looks nice, kinda like I expect 400 film to look like and with richness of tones, if I can say so myself.
Sometimes I have to compare it with the Foma 400. At 400 (because Foma 400 is allegedly not really 400 but more like 260, but you already know that).
GAF Memo from the last post works perfectly fine so far. I fixed it myself in case you haven't heard and now I'm really proud of myself (it wasn't really that broken fortunately).
That was Foma 200. It came out really nice from the dev. But it doesn't happen like that everytime for me and I don't know why. Which is kinda frustrating. Like these next shots for example, with Chinon CE-3.
They came out somewhat flat and anemic I would say and I had to edit them pretty heavily. Not totally horrible, but certainly not how I would like them. Does my Chinon SLR underexpose? Was it weak deverloper? I don't know...
And for the last few pictures - I think I'm falling in love with Foma 100.
Everything developed in Fomadon R09 (rodinal) 1+50 with standard times.
