LDN with the Contax

I can’t get enough of exploring London with the Contax 645! Too bad I can barely afford it. Developing film is a killer…

It has been a long time since I showed the Contax some love. I’ve finally been on my first photowalk of 2013, and sent off my first batch of film to the lab. This included a few captures from our first date! (Shot on the Contax 645 using Fujicolor Pro 400H film and a 80mm f2 lens.)

We sat on the pavement of Columbia Street Flower Market and listened to the hypnotising voice of Brooke Sharkey.

First Date 01

We wandered through East London, stopping wherever we felt like it. Spitalfields City Farm, Brick Lane, Pizza East, a random cider festival…

Before I knew it, a brunch date had turned into 14 hours together. And the rest, I suppose, is history.

First Date 04

And, because I can’t get enough of the vibrant sights of this part of London, here are a few more shots I took with my iPhone.

My first Contax adventure

26 July 2012 9 Comments

So I finally sent off my first 3 rolls of 120 film to be developed, and… I like most of the exposures! I was so nervous that every single shot would be horribly over- or under-exposed. Happy bunny right here.
