All great Pali. This one works best for me. Starting to be a nice time of year in the northeastern/mid-Atlantic US.

Thank you Chassis! I love how Provia renders the morning light colors. You can see it get warm and cool depending on if its being shot in direct sunlight or shade.

Nice ones Pali. Still jealous of the XPan...

A few months ago I bought a bunch of expired 35mm slide film. In the lot was a bunch of "Fujifilm MS 100/1000" film, which I had never heard of before. Supposedly it can be shot between ISO 100 and 1000, with appropriate development. Finally got around to testing it out recently and I love the saturated colors with somewhat softer contrast than Provia and Velvia. Here's two shots I made with my F5 and 200mm Micro at a local garden:

And here's something else I shot this evening. I've been meaning to try this with a Nikonos I picked up a few months ago. I shot this straddling the water line at my favorite local state park that I shoot a lot at.

Nikonos IV, 35mm f/2.5, TMX, FX-39:



Need to try this more, and maybe with the 15mm that I also got in the water fully. And probably with less turbulent areas!

Bryan, The plane of focus on the water lili's is nice. How do the MS 100/1000 slides themselves look? the results here are certainly nice. Did you shoot any at the High ISO yet?

Try more with the Nikonos! I was super excited to get an underwater 110 camera, unfortunatly all the 110 I have shot has been extremely fogged so I havn't actually seen the pictures I made =[ The turbulance does add an interesting mystique... 'soft focus/glow'

The slides are admittedly a bit color shifted towards blue/magenta. Kind of purplish. Easy to correct in the scan though.

This was actually my second roll - the first I ended up trying out at a middling ISO of 400 with a long development. It looked okay but not great. I'm not sure I would bother trying again. Also in the lot of slide film was a 100' roll of Provia 400 (!!) that is in surprisingly good shape so I am set for fast slide film...which I don't really use anyway . I actually might ditch that for something I'm more likely to use since people are paying a lot for Provia 400 on eBay.

Anyway, thanks! I might go out with the Nikonos again today or tomorrow and try again. I did find out last night my 15mm is somewhat broken though it's still kind of usable...the aperture changes when the focus knob is moved for some reason, but the aperture knob still works too so you can reset the aperture to the proper place. I have no idea how the linkages got intertwined like that. Should've noticed when I purchased, oh well.

That's cool. Great mix of trees and patterns. Nice time of day. Are the aspens turning yet?
