This day was shot with my Kalimar A. I, believing I was shooting Polypan F, was surprised to find Fuji Superia 200 in there. I was surprised even more when I had the images developed to find that they were NOT over-exposed. In fact, they were very much usable, and quite decent! It's not the first time I've done this though, as I thought I had the same 50ISO film loaded, only to find out that it's Arista Premium 400 loaded.. D'oh! Still, decent images! Some a little blown out, but that's what I get for not paying attention..
Kudos to Fuji to have such a wide and forgiving latitude on their film.
The most interesting thing about this camera, is I found it at a flea market for $10.00... lens was frozen stiff (repaired and relubed), shutter was sticky, not anymore, and the camera was a mess! I've cleaned it up, and it makes for a very decent little camera. I have had great luck with it, but not sure how it performs shooting wide open. Not yet, as I have only used it in good light.
This time I wandered the neighbourhood and took in, again, the railway construction going on. Really liking the semi-industrial shots. But I really wish I could find some more of the welding and chop-saws with sparks flying.. Those are wonderfully industrial!

Wandering back to work, I just happened to come across this fence that is still decorated with christmas lights. I thought, what the heck! Great way to show off the possible DOF you can get with this lens. Well, I was quite pleasantly surprised by it as well! Having not spent a lot of time working with this camera other then messing around with it, I was quite pleasantly surprised to see the images that this camera produced, especially with an uncoated lens!
