First let me say that I wasn’t too happy with the film I used: Fujicolor Superia X-TRA400. I’ve used it before and it seems to me that it has a greenish cast, which I don’t find appealing. So why did I use it? The last few film cameras I used with black and white film and I had an urge to use color. The only color film that was readily available was this one.

Otherwise I was pleased with the results. Everything came out well focused and well exposed. In fact I’m struggling to find anything to say. Everything came out so well that it was almost as if the camera wasn’t there.

As mentioned in the earlier post the only problem I encountered was with framing. A few shots weren’t they way I’d wanted them to be. This could, however, be because my memory (and my eyes for that matter) are faulty.

Now I didn’t really try the camera out in difficult light. I was walking around taking pictures on a bright sunny day. In fact it was so bright that I regretted that I was only able to get ISO 400 film. I did’t use much of the camera’s functionality either, preferring to just put it in aperture priority and shoot away
