A day when all the things occurred unplanned.
Whereas creating some movies for my son I had hassle loading the reel; was it me? the reel? the movie? the digicam?
I had just lately purchased a Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L ii USM lens.
And I had simply taken my EOS3 out of storage and checked it over.
Pondering one of the best factor to do was attempt creating one other roll of movie I loaded the EOS3 with Rollei RPX100, mounted the 14mm lens and went for a fast stroll by means of the woods earlier than the rain arrived after which developed the movie immediately.
It turned out all the difficulty I had been having was the Minox’s fault with it having broken the movie edge (different previous crappy plastic cameras can be found and will be equally as unhealthy).
I had final used the EOS3 in 2007 and packed it away after lastly switching utterly to digital. All the pieces appears to work tremendous and I managed to seek out many of the controls with out an excessive amount of hassle, the 5D mk iv I’m at the moment utilizing having a format with sufficient in frequent to permit swapping between the 2 simply. As I keep in mind the swap from movie to digital was pretty seamless for a similar purpose.
Once they have been new the 14mm f/2.8L ii was all the time out of my attain, so I continued with a 20mm f/2.8 which is a superb lens however one which by no means appears to have a large sufficient angle of view for the photograph I’m making an attempt to take. Second-hand 14mm lenses have come down in value significantly prior to now couple of years, making it seem to be a superb time to purchase one. I had been utilizing it a bit however poor climate from the time of buy and lack of appropriate topics meant not utilizing it as a lot as I wished to. I assumed it might be fascinating to see what outcomes it gave with black and white movie.
The reply is that they got here out type of all proper, however these woodland photos might have been made with nearly every other lens, and usually are not actually what I had in thoughts when buying the 14mm. Vegetation, flowers, fungi and such like in context with their habitat and panorama was extra what I used to be pondering of, and positively in color. I’m beginning to discover a number of and to seek out what the lens is able to.
Two issues have occurred to me after utilizing the lens extra. The primary is why on earth does the EF 14mm have autofocus? It appears weird when the entire level of the lens is that nearly all the things is in focus anyway, on a regular basis. And the second is {that a} wider angle of view can be helpful.
The EOS3 has gone again in storage for now, if I need to use an enormous battery-powered monstrosity it might as properly be a digital digicam.
