Man, I need to keep this thing rolling. I have an enormous backlog of film to process. Something like 10 rolls of it. 35mm, medium format, B&W and color. It's not exactly inviting me to get to work on it. So, for now, I'm going to shoot some digital until I clear the queue.
I took the borrowed Olympus EP1 back out and went for a walk around the Lower East Side. This time, with my Voigtlander 28mm f/1.9 Ultron. Normally, this is a pretty wide angle lens, but the 2x crop factor pulls it out to 58mm, which I guess works kind of like a 50mm, but I often found myself a step too close to things. It's a bigger pain than it may sound because I would often forget to refocus.
It's not quite as contrasty as the Zeiss, but it's sharp enough. When I hit focus, that is. I still can't really catch moving targets on the fly. So, I took lots of pictures of garbage. I don't know.
For digital work I think I'll be switching back to the Fuji X100S again. I haven't used autofocus in a while. That'll be fun to have back again.
