52 rolls, 52 cameras, 52 weeks

Some more results for you today!

'Trollies' - 1/125sec @f/8

In keeping with the age and style of week two's camera, the Olympus Ace rangefinder, I shot a roll of Kodak Tri-X rated at ISO 320 and had it processed and scanned by Peak Imaging in Sheffield.

'Our Glorious Dead' - 1/250sec @f/8

'Tunnel' - 1/250sec @f/8

'20ft 6ins' - 1/250sec @f/11

'Retro' - 1/250sec @f/11

'Steps' - 1/125sec @f/11

I must admit that I'm not over keen on the Ace, finding focusing incredibly difficult (although the faint rangefinder spot and my need for some new specs certainly can't have helped…) Again, the only editing amounts to straightening, cropping, sharpening (and a little shadow recovery).

Finally, some results!

I collected my first set of pictures yesterday, having had the film developed and scanned by Harrison Cameras in Sheffield and I'm quite pleased with the results.

Week one of this project/madness saw me using a Ricoh KR-10 Super along with the standard Rikenon 50mm f/2 lens and some out of date Fujicolor C200 film. Although I've imported the scans into Lightroom the only editing I've done is a little straightening, slight cropping and a smidgeon of sharpening.

I'm quite taken by the Ricoh, the shutter release has a bit of a hair trigger and there's no auto-exposure lock but other than those tiny issues it's difficult to find fault with the camera. The standard 50mm lens seems pretty good too with only its minimum focusing distance of 0.6m (as opposed to the 0.45m of my Nikon AIS and Olympus OM lenses) letting it down a little.
