Long story, but I was gifted a Pentax P30 with a selection of lenses. And it got me thinking about an upcoming trip to New York.
Should I take a film camera alongside my digital?
Anyway, to that end, I sought advice in the equipment section, bought some film and went out really just to test the camera and lenses, with a view to taking the camera and the 35-70 lens. Unfortunately that lens turned out to be a dud. But the 50mm was clean.
Then I got carried away with myself, and dug out my own film camera - a Minolta x-500. Ordered some new/different lenses for it and went out to test those too.
Most of the shots were proper tests and not creative, but towards the end of the rolls, I started getting used to the cameras again.
All shot on XP2 and processed by FilmDev.
