Street Photography 10 - Nikon FE SLR

Here are my 10th attempt at Street Photography...

Camera: Nikon FE
Film: Kentmere iso400
Time: Early morning Saturday, 2010 - Snow
Lens: F1.8 50mm e-series lens
Developer: T-max


Taking out my newly aquired Nikon FE with me which is 100% in good condition after some film test then went to Skywalk Union Station for some photographs again. I managed to get pretty close to some people which is very rarely done by me and even managed to talk to some.

Here are some of the photos which was taken by this camera, again I have this issue with developing on film as it tends to be grainy and was new with T-max developer. Oh and next time I would be using a lens filter, I just notice most of my shots were over exposed especially when taking photos with snow.

Me Super + kentmere 400 Test Shots

Finally I was able to use my pentax me super again, loading a kentmere 400 with it I did some test shots. Some places I've been to was camera show and some urban place here in toronto. I was not satisfied with the result of my development, images has lots of insane grains not because I used Rodinal but has something to do with my mixing and agitation process.
Another issue I have lately with this camera is im not liking exposures was produced. My newly acquired camera nikon fe gives good exposures and has more contrast/sharpness than the pentax smc f2.0 lens. I am now thinking of switching my beloved gear and go into nikon fe instead.


camera: pentax me super
lens: smc pentax f2.0 lens
film: kentmere 400
developer: rodinal 1:25
scanner: polaroid sprintscan 4000


Here are some shots taken with this camera:

Nikon FE slr - test shots













Recently I went to some camera show and purchased an old vintage Nikon FE slr camera that comes with E-series f1.8 50mm lens. Purchased it for $45 which the owner was reluctant to sell and comes with lr44 battery already installed.











Using a kentmere 400 film I did some test shots to find any light leaks or some problems with this camera and was very satisfied with the film results. Here are some photos taken with this camera developed with rodinal @ 1:25.

I still have problems on how the spot metering works with this camera, some images were exposed which was not posted here. Ill have to do another test and check the light metering for good exposures which will take me time to get along.
