Taken with Fuji NPS 160 Pro.
Surprisingly I wrote the introduction about this camera a month ago. The time interval between this and that entry is a coincidence.
So I got the scans for my TLR’s test shots. My amazing boyfriend K took the liberty of using them before sending them to me, so majority of the frames were taken back in Toronto.
The last frame was mine though; boy it’s not a glorifying shot. But whatever. Read the rest of this entry »
So I finally got some of my scanned copies in taken using my Konica Big Mini 302. Enough copies actually, for me to make a decent quick review about this unit.
It is such a shame that I am making this entry after writing something about my T4. Not that I am exaggerating about my T4′s capabilities and features, but well, the camera deserves its fame. Nonetheless, I think KBM 302 delivers well too.
Ergonomics-wise, good and not good. Good because it feels better to hold and use the camera. Not to mention the long strap that can serve as a lanyard. Bad because there’s no lens cover for it! How weird can it get? (K says it’s a design flaw, but I really don’t know what the makers were trying to get at). Read the rest of this entry »
Also known as “More Toronto Shots” entry.
I recently acquired a mint condition black Yashica T4 from K. Which of course I wasn’t even planning to get until he told me he’s going to get it for me (for now). He knows I wanted to have one, but the crazy price of this beast prevents me from getting a unit.
But anyway. So when I went to Toronto I finally got a chance to hold it in my hands, and I started shooting away.
Craziness ensued.
First off, I would like to say that Yashica T4 is a no-nonsense camera. It actually lives up to its expectations because it knows how to perform. I can’t blame those photography (or gadget) enthusiasts if they are really after this camera for they have their own reasons (not to mention that their reasons are VALID). And to those who own this camera and who don’t want to use it because, well, it’s film? Please think again. Or if you really don’t want to keep it, make some money out of it because this thing is truly a gem. Read the rest of this entry »
My last day at Toronto. We both went to this small camera fair located in Thornhill (Markham), Ontario.
Yes, well, I’m holding a T4 there, yes. And again yes this picture can now be in the local tourism booklet. He he.
The boy wasn’t joking when he said that it was a good 30-min walk from the bus stop all the way to the community centre where the fair is located. It wasn’t as cold as Winnipeg, but my body does not discriminate. Canada is cold, and that’s a fact wherever I go. Read the rest of this entry »
This is rather a late post for a travel-related entry but times have been tough. Anyway. I went to Toronto, ON last week to visit a special person and to attend a camera fair.
I find the place to be very busy. However despite of the amount of activities that breathes life to the city, it is devoid (IMO) of that certain feel that I am so used to seeing and living here in Winnipeg. I don’t know what that feel is, if you ask me. Maybe the friendliness of the people?
But that doesn’t mean I don’t like Toronto. I don’t have the right to pass any judgment right now since I didn’t stay there that long. Read the rest of this entry »
