Cheap Film w/ Photos (Toronto)

[md2008]

For Toronto RFFers, just stopped by the Shopper's Drug Mart and saw Shopper's brand 200 and 400 24exp 3-pks on sale for $4.99. I burned through a roll of the 200, saw that it's rebranded Fuji which looked good, and grabbed some more. This sale is on until Nov 19.

All photos with Hexar RF and Nokton 35mm f/1.2

Nice shots. I really like that Nokton lens. Simonsawsunlight has one that i've shot with. It's definitely on my list of "must have" lenses.

I'm trying to place the brick building with the construction. It looks familiar. Is it the backside of Maple Leaf Gardens?

That's right, on Wood St.

Nice shots. I used to own that lens, never quite liked it much but that was purely personal -- clearly you can work it pretty well.
Fuji often re-branded its films under other discount brands; I used to work in photo labs in high school and there were a few brands that were Fuji -- they took the same settings on the machines and everything. Usually were older film stock, etc.

I snagged a box (3 rolls of 24 ISO400) before I headed out to LotusLand - shot it all out there - brought it back here and processed it @ my local WalMart - cheap film + relatively cheap processing + pricey camera/lenses = decent photos *LOL* 🙂

I would not hesitate to use this film again - only thing I would be careful of is if I shot under tungsten and/or fluorescent - seems to be a bit "odd" in that light 🙂

Cheers,
Dave
