Went back to rummaging through my slide collection recently and updated the database with a few more found slide images from the latest scan. The scan included this set of images of brightly chromed helmets of a vintage fire brigade squad at a citizen festival. This was way back in the 1980s.
The easement of the pandemic confinement saw me going for a short walkabout in the park recently, and for the session, I had the Pen E-P5 mounted with an M.Zuiko Digital 17mm F2.8. Images were, however, taken in JPEG format, rather than the *.ORF Raw format I am used to.
#VintageLensTest - Five frames with a non-functional Hexanon AR 50mm F1.7.
Testing out the Konica Hexanon 50mm F1.7 which came in through the post recently. Bad luck though, as the lens was faulty, it has oily blades which were almost stuck, a bent filter ring that refuses to be removed, and a front trim that was loosened due to the pressure of trying to unscrew the filter. These images ended up being shot at the lens's widest aperture.
#AnalogDiary - Film photography favorites, five frames with an Olympus XA1, at the stop with a roll of expired Fujifilm Superia X-Tra 400.
I was on the Olympus XA1 and a roll of expired Fujifilm Superia X-tra 400 here, with a batch of shots at the end of the roll preempting the series. Interesting captures at the Central Market public bus transport terminal in downtown KL.
