Personal | Film #2

You may remember back in September/October we purchased & began using some film.  Well, our new Nikon F5 arrived & we couldn’t wait to begin shooting with it!

Since receiving it, we shot 5 rolls. Some personal, and some while out with clients. I want to continue to share my journey shooting & learning…. this time on film. We purchased the F5 because it’s a Nikon camera, thus we could continue to use all our pro lenses with it…. unlike our Minolta Maxxum, which we only have 2 lenses for (the kit & a 50 1.7). All of the photos linked above were shot on the Minolta with the 50.

This morning I woke to find an email from the FIND lab, where I sent 5 rolls about 2 weeks ago. I was SO excited to have the scan back 🙂  Well…. I have to say I wasn’t as thrilled as I was with the Minolta scans!!! (not because of the scans, but the sharpness) Somehow that little lens managed to be sharper than our Nikons. Strange. Perhaps I should send the F5 off for servicing, and see if that’s the issue.

In the mean time we’ll continue to shoot film, explore different stocks, and learn as much as possible! Today I’ll share the few from Catey & Michael’s wedding I shot. (See the digital images here & here).  Expect to see lots more film here 🙂

Enjoy!
