These lines are straight, I promise...

OK, nothing in the picture is straight...



Pentax MX, Zenitar 16mm f2.8 fisheye, Kodak Proimage 100

I've done a couple of black and white conversions with this, as I really like the shadow shapes, but I haven't really liked any of them any more than the color...

Are you sure you want to get rid of that door? The light coming through it makes for great black and white

Thanks! Already paid for the replacement 😉.
For the basement door it’s the same setup, just in aluminum instead of wood.
We bought the house end of last year and the door is literally loosing pieces every day so..
We’ll actually be gaining a bit of light on the top!

Another snap with the 18-55mm kit zoom on no brand ISO 400 film.



And a sort of -- but not quite -- comparison. First the 18-55mm zoom, then a 1947 Kodak Anastigmat 50mm/3.5 taken from a broken 35RF and converted to K mount. I should have thought to take a snap with the zoom at about 50mm but I didn't.





That ancient uncoated 74 year old Kodak Tessar is still the best 50mm I've ever owned. What it boils down to is that the kit lens that a photographer got on his Kodak rangefinder in 1947 was in some ways a better lens than his grandkid would have got on a new DSLR in 2017. That's progress for you.

A ca. 1947 zoom might be a better comparison.

I promise, if I ever get one of those, I'll post a comparison here with pleasure.
