Sounds like an excellent idea. I have at least 25 Nikon cassettes loaded up with 400 iso film and should be able to add another 19-20 to that (100 ft roll of Legacy Pro still to load).
Could also be a reason to use the Sony 7 with the Cameraquest adapter for S-mount lenses - sparingly as it is digital after all!

Sounds like a plan. Weather should be better too by then to get around with the Domke.

Anyone else?

I have my S2 , Millennium Nikkor 50, Nikkor-S 5cm, Nokton-S 50/1.5 and 35/2.5 ready to go. I have about 20 rolls of double-x in new reloadable canisters...I'm just not sure of the best way to load my Nikon cassettes. I haven't given those a try yet. I have 8 or 9 of them.

I'm using a regular daylight loader, and don't have access to a darkroom, just a changing bag. Anyone know of a tutorial for loading those cassettes or a video on loading the cassettes into the camera without exposing the film?

I meant to participate in this last year, then got distracted with other projects. This year for sure!

 

[Jan Pedersen]

Will try to participate again this year. I haven't used my S3 nearly enough since so it is a good excuse to dust it off again.

Here's one from a quick roll off my new s3 with even newer 35mm 1.8. Plus-x movie stock Rodinal dev.

Getting ready

Getting ready

Shot with S3 last weekend in the snow and will continue.
Maybe even take it along assignments this week. Haven't used it since recent CLA. Lenses, 35 f3.5; 50 f1.4 and 135 f3.5. Variety of film.
This will be first year! Yahoo!

I m in too this year, by coincidence I loaded my S2 with film last weekend , will be using it with a 50 mainly, nothing I know shoots like those lifesize viewfinders with both eyes open. so timing couldn't be better.

 

[Tom A]

Started the Nikon Rf month a day early, Nikon S3 and 50f1.4 chrome. Legacy Pro 400 and D96 developer for 9 min. Got three more rolls shot and 2 in cameras for tomorrow (28f3.5 and 50f1.5 S-Nokton).

From a BBQ I went to over the weekend.
On the down side my epson V750 scanner popped out after scanning 4 frames of the roll.
Ugh

S3 Millenium + 50mm f2.5 Skopar

Last year I took out my S2 for the March Nikon RF festivities... and dropped it. It had to go to the camera spa and get fixed, and of course, it didn't make it on time.

This time... I won't drop it! 🙂 Ready I am! 😉

Fraser, great grain and contrast--wish I could get my hands on a 35 1.8 lens for myself!

Tom A, always a pleasure to see your work with your sharp and characteristically rich black and white tones. Great way to start Nikon RF month!

 

[David Murphy]

Wow - beautiful shots!

 

[Tom A]

This was my reason for using a shot from February 28. It was already March 1 in Australia and the window display looked appropriate!
Nikon S3, Nikkor 50mm f1.4 (early chrome 360xxx), Legacy Pro 400, D96 for 9 min.
