New toy, may get arrested?

[Kayos]

Yeah I just mixed a new batch of C41 (colour) chemicals, so no dropping the film off to be processed

My first ever camera was a Zenit like that - got it for nothing with a couple of lenses. What memories, what memories.......

New toy arrived today

Nip over to Paris, it's lovely at this time, you will get some good shots when you whip that out--------.

It needs a red dot laser for accurate sighting, that should get the subject nice and relaxed.

Also equal to "I won't be getting arrested"

good job you didn't miss the 1 off the C41

Just got a txt off a mate, "how about some pics of a mosque, I've got a Je suis Charlie t-shirt here for you"

Possibly worse idea yet?

In its case

That's seriously cool Comrade.

Yeah, shouldn't have it with you in public. Covered under imitation firearm laws now! My starter pistol that I use in dog training has to be a bright pink / orange but to use it in a public place without lawful authority is illegal.
besides anything else I have known a few ARV guys and I shouldn't trust some of them with a spud gun

 

[Kayos]

I will look into that, as it's just a lens and camera mount with a built in trigger.

 

[sardine]

Good idea, just when the police armed officers are extra nervous.

If you've got a beard I'd shave it off if I were you, before you go out with that bit of kit.

 

[Kayos]

Just been for a test shoot up at castle hill, few odd looks but no one phoned the police

It was quiet, hardly surprising considering the weather

I but think on one guy had a coffee table leg he was taking for repair still in a carrier bag and they shot him. Ask yourself "do you feel lucky punk?" what it actually is don't matter much when your laid in a pool of your own blood

 

[Kayos]

Developed some shots I took, the chems are warming for the "found" roll
First one took with the 58mm lens

Same shot with the 300mm sniper lens

Both guessed exposures and fighting gailforce winds, just quick scans too, however I think it shows the potential of this lens

Thats all right, mind it is not very hard to make an Ok 300mm lens if you are not designing for wide aperture or compact size.
Scans are quite good from an all in one printer (I am guessing going by the Newton's rings on the first one, negative was in contact with the scanner's glass bed), colour looks good too I never had much luck with C41 colours always looked like a *rap filter on a mobile phone pic.

 

[Kayos]

It does go to 4.5, better than a lot of stuff ive seen for way more money
Its actually scanned on a V550 but ive bust my mask, and the expired film is curved hence the newton rings. Resolution is turned right down for speed

I think ive nailed C41, done about 25 ish now, just ordered a 5l kit with enough chems to do 100 or so rolls, 40p a roll it works out at

 

[Kayos]

Also the roll in the case was blank

What dog training do you do?
