Morning Wander

[Black Pearl 6,371]

I picked up a FED-4 a couple of weeks back and have been using it on the X-T1 as a wander around outfit with a couple of other vintage lenses. These are from a walk around Sunderland on Saturday morning before work.

Set the camera to mono, jpeg, sent them to the phone via Wi-Fi and edited them in Lr Mobile. These have been resized using Ps back on the Mac but no further tweakery.

Looks like the markets have seen better days.

Presumably the lens is an Industar-61. Did you actually buy the whole system, or just the lens?

Number 1 works best for me - it has a great documentary feel and paints a bit of a bleak picture.

number 3 reminds me of a vivian maier image.

Yep thats the one - bought the camera and the lens - just for the lens as its one I don't have.

I'm sure you can guess what comes next. Have you thought of running a film through the camera? You never know you, might enjoy it.

I need to finish the Tri-X currently loaded in my Contax 167 before I get round to putting a roll in one of my other film cameras.....but to be honest I worked the urge to shoot film out of my system 15 years ago
