Lens: Helga Viking; Film: Blanko





This film combo nation has an overall blue hue and in some shots seems to lack some contrast. The cons of this dark scenes seem to quickly lose contrast.  This particular combination lacks any vignetting or lens aberrations.


I this combination  find aesthetically appealing.  I like the overall dull blue hue of the prints,  I am particularly fone of this 1st print with the tree.

Theres an overall aged feel to these photos, im not sure they are good for every photo but its great in some aspects.

This combo lacks some contrast. I would appreciate  a little more contrast in the images but for some the drab works well.

At first did not like the washed out bluish look of this film/lens combo.  But i took these two shots this weekend and actually I like them a lot.  Color composition and everything, it came out great.  I think shooting with this combo works well in the shadows.  Its not a very contrasty combo but it it shows a range of dark to light well.

Well these are my thoughts on this one.  Seriously back for more on this combo in the next post.

So my assessment of this lens film combo.  Overall very orange to red overtones with faded highlights.  This combo can be quite contrasty in a scene with lots of contrast and deep greens.  (See the radishes)
It dose well it fads somewhat toward the center so the photos definitely have an "aged" look to them.  This at times adds much to the photo in the form of a great vignette at first i believed that is what it was while shooting with this combo, After playing with it for several months though i realize that it was in fact a fade as opposed to a vignette.

I think im a fan of this combination.  I will continue to use it in the process however its not my favorite so far.

Lens: Jimmy, Film: Blanko. Revisited





Will this is my final attempt at this combo then I am moving on to something new.  I am still not a fan of the over all yellow hue.  I think this works better in lower light settings but is still yellow.  So I am sure some one could put it to good use and if I ever do I will post here
