February | 2019 | burnt embers

Out with my mother again, @mosibakery as usual. Testing a #Minox35GT which exposes for highlights as far as I can tell making these shots underexposed and conversion to #bnw an improvement. I did not estimate focal distance very well, with no room for error at f2.8. Even so I like these two images. If the camera had a rangefinder it would be a very strong competitor for the #OlympusXA which is a few mm larger when closed. As it is, focusing is by guess and adjusting aperture is fiddly at best. Weirdest thing about camera is slow shutter speeds are graded by film speed - 800ISO can shoot down to 1 sec and 25ISO down to 30 seconds. 30 seconds for all filmspeeds would have been a real plus. On the plus side are very nice optics, very small, 2x backlight compensation, self timer, drawbridge provides very stable surface in absence tripod and also a built in lens shade by shooting camera upside down and has DoF scale for diff f-stops. Best shot in good light at f11 or so with preset focus. #minox #35mm #cameratest #believeinfim #superia400 #filmisnotdead #filmisalive #shootfilm #staybrokeshootfilm #heyfsc #back2thebase #bnwportrait #blackandwhite #twitter
