One of the test shots from the roll of film I’ve posted images from over the past week.

Of note, this is from a dark corner of the house, so it was shot at 1/30 sec @ f/1.5.

This shot represents the last frame from the roll of film I mentioned in yesterday’s post.  There’s some lens flare (or possibly reflections off the filter?) present, which was a bit of surprise.

I had initially attempted to photograph the same scene with the GFX 100S, but its autofocus system was fooled by the back-lighting, and it just kept locking on to the plant by the window.

Manually focusing a 50+ year old rangefinder camera solved the problem 🙂

P.S. I’m still enjoying the 100S.  It’s the best digital camera I’ve had since the M9.
