On this event it was my pal Josep who lent me his digital camera that had already been deserted in a closet for greater than twenty years. The primary shock in my palms was to find a Polaroid movie already shot that remained within the model of Egyptian mummies, quietly in its sarcophagus: the Canon EF digital camera. The movie was definitely outdated, however curiosity made me take it to FotoJoma ([email protected]) for its growth, the unhealthy information was that the pictures had disappeared, Joma didn’t cost me for the event however I took the negatives residence anyway.
Analyzing the movie intently, I noticed one thing in a body and determined to scan it with my Sony A37. After some intensive modifying, the photograph beneath got here out. I couldn’t edit any extra of the frames, I didn’t even uncover what they have been.
I despatched the photograph to Josep however he informed me that it was not his and that his son Albert most likely used the digital camera after which forgot the movie. Nicely, no less than I solved (or not) the enigma.
I purchased the batteries for the digital camera and examined it completely and not using a movie, the photometer labored and the shutter mechanism as properly, though I noticed sure anomalies with it jamming)at speeds decrease than 1 sec, maybe because of the hardening of the lubricants. I can even say that it was in an excellent situation, it included a Canon carry bag, a Vivitar MC 2x converter for telephoto lens and a Nationwide flash from the 70s.
Lastly I loaded a roll of Kodak Gold 200 and went with my spouse to the Montjuic fort in Barcelona the place I took a number of images having fun with a splendid day. The place was a navy garrison and later it was managed by the Barcelona Metropolis Council, which softened it however there are nonetheless reminders of its earlier use. From the fort the views of the town and the harbor are distinctive.
The dealing with of the Canon EF could be very comfy though it’s fairly heavy, the viewfinder is magnificent – it’s very massive and clear. I didn’t wish to complicate my life, so I shot all of the images in shutter precedence utilizing the Canon FD 50 1: 1.4 lens. Solely in two pictures I used the auto publicity lock button that retains the meter studying when altering the body.
I admit that two images have been out of focus and two others had insufficient publicity, I’ve deleted them as they have been my errors, not the digital camera’s
As you may see the outcomes are good. There may be maybe an extra of distinction and the colour considerably pasty – however quite than this being brought on by the digital camera I feel it’s the kind of movie. Both manner, I’m glad with the outcomes.
As soon as once more I’ve launched into an journey with a beforehand unknown to me digital camera and I’ve achieved some outcome. As a easy novice I take pleasure in creating these articles and I hope you want them too.
Thanks for studying.
