365 - Park Life [263]

The first three are further additions to the 'bench' series, taken with the Mcatch.
I may redo some of this series when I have a better camera.

I've been loaned a Zeiss Super Ikonta A to play with. It has a variable shutter which comes in use because the film I bought is rated at 400 ASA and the Agfa Box's limited aperture and speed would overexpose in the bright morning light [I'll take it out tomorrow afternoon]. Using the Zeiss I shot off a roll of 120 film this morning. It took some getting used to, using the rangefinder to focus, cocking the shutter, composing in the viewfinder, missing the shutter trigger, finding the trigger, firing the shutter. I messed up the first couple of frames working out how to wind on the film using the little red windows in the back.
A quick walk into town musing about the immediacy of digital, turned into a desperate search for somewhere that could develop 120 film. I tried four shops, no one will touch it. I'll have to get it done by mail order. What an incredibly slow process compared to digital.
