That is very good for an Instamatic!
Thank you :-)

I'm glad my zone focusing was on point. I'm not very good at evaluating distances but, hopefully, I have feet loll

Looks like you're getting great results from the new film. Is it as picky over exposure as older positive emulsions?
Thanks!

For me the new E100 is like another other E6 that I have shot over the years and you need to get the exposure right on. So for me that's a camera with a meter that is accurate, a metering pattern that I'm familiar with and the use of exposure compensation when necessary. (So no "sunny 16" when I shoot slides) I also always use at a minimum a skylight filter when shooting slides, or a warming filter.

I still project my holiday slides, so it's critical I get everything right before I press the shutter button. (no post processing to fix exposure/colour temperature issues.)

Other than that the new Ektachrome 100 has pretty neutral colours and perfect for my vacation shooting. I've now shot eight rolls and it's my favourite colour film of any type. I have dozens of roils in my freezer, giving the frozen peas & corn some much needed company!

There's a bit of a story behind this one: I'd arranged to meet up with someone to sell a lens over the long weekend. On my way to meet the buyer, I passed through Chinatown just in time for the Canada Day parade put on by the local business association.

Now, if I'm shooting my Exa, I'll probably be using a wider lens — IMO not a great choice for a parade unless you want to get up close & personal with the marchers. But I had the lens I was selling in my bag, and coincidentally it was also an Exakata mount. The half-dozen or so photos I took before continuing on my way probably about tripled the number of shots I'd taken with this lens.

Technically, there's a lot that's imperfect with this photo: a shutter speed getting near one-over-focal-length, both myself and the subject in motion, and a very dark focusing screen means that nothing is really sharp, and the film had clearly not been kept in a fridge. But there's a charm to it that I like.
