Well I finally got around to developing the first roll from my new Bessa today.. What a disaster.
\nFor the first time ever I had trouble loading the film onto the spools. It kept getting stuck, and would crease and bunch up.. I started to loose patience so decided to chop the film randomly in half and load the rest of the negatives on the other spool. By that time I was thinking about chucking the whole film out. I wasn’t in the best of moods. But I eventually stopped having a sook and put the Fujifilm Acros in Rodinal at 1+50 for 14 minutes. It turned out ok I think, not perfect though. Temperature was about 16 degrees which probably didn’t help.<\/p>\n

I went back to the Opera House again. I know its touristy, but I think its one of the more interesting structures in Sydney. I really likes it’s angles and curves and scale. Its very unique. I’m going to keep going back there trying to shoot some non touristy compositions.
\nOh, and I had the 35mm on for all (except the last) of these shots.<\/p>\n

Now this last shot was taken with a Russian Jupiter 8, 50mm f\/2 lens from 1962. I only took a couple test shots with it, but wow I’m impressed. I’m really surprised how nice it looks wide open at f\/2. It has really nice bokeh and bit of a natural “glow”. I think it’ll take a little while to get used to it, as it can render some areas a little bit too grey. But I’m going to keep practicing to get the best out of it. It’s by far the most unique looking lens i have. Oh and it cost me nothing which is extra nice \ud83d\ude42
\nI’ll be using it with some colour film also.<\/p>\n
