Went to the Renaissance Fair yesterday. Brought along my Nikon F5 and Sigma 300mm and blew through 3 rolls of Kodak XX during the jousts. Working on scans now, here's two:

Cool

I have not been to one in 30 years

We've started to go once a year. It's only about an hour and a half south from us.

Here's one more from the finale. They do 3 joust shows a day, with an overarching story that usually ends in duels and a few dramatic squibs. I saw the sword gleaming in my viewfinder and fired off a half-dozen frames:

I am curious to know, if anyone here has tried yet, the 120 version of Eastman 5222 XX roll film? BTW B&H has the best deal on this I have found, at $11.99/roll.

That's a lot, but they had to invest in a master roll from Kodak to pull this off. So IMO it is worth supporting this. XX is my long fave 35mm emulsion, in medium format it should be delicious
