Here are a few more shots from the Beltline area of Calgary that I made over the Easter weekend with my Kodak Jiffy 620 camera, this time with a couple of rolls of Kodachrome 64.
The framing on this camera is, as mentioned previously, challenging. I think I'm getting the feel for it even if a few of these shots don't quite show that I might know what's going on.
I like the look the combination of Kodachrome and the Kodak Jiffy 620 camera gave me on this outing. I think someone gave me the term "vintage-y". I think I agree.
I think the next test with the Jiffy is to try a couple of rolls of HP5. "What?!" you are probably saying as you read this. How in the heck do you expect to make photographs on a camera in daylight using a 400 speed film and a 1/50 sec exposure time and limited aperture settings?
Well, last year I obtained a large supply of Kodak Microdol X developer for free. Very old and very expired. Kodak used to package this developer in metal cans, so they have been preserved very well. The trick is to develop the HP5 in Microdol X to 50 ASA. The times are listed in the Massive Dev Chart. Time will tell if this combination works, but if so, I can use my standard film in a very old camera!
Until next time,
Dean.
