retro wildlife and landscape setup

I think the grain pattern of the 800 will be a better match for the older designed lenses.

They weren't designed with these newer films in mind so the results could be mixed.

Ok, now I'm more curious 🙂

Lenses are designed for a certain type of film grain pattern? I wonder how?

Also, how do we know that the 800 film that are produced nowadays hasn't undergone major changes in the formula since the 70's? 😀

Especially I think you mentioned the 800 Max which is Kodak's consumer line. I imagine they are not in so much pressure to keep or announce the changes in the formulas unlike their "pro" stuff.

Yes, at some point I want to get the 3T and 4T diopters for 52mm, no hurry though, so I'll probably look for them at camera shows or somewhere.

On the film, it's what I have. I might mix some Reala in the mix and some Superia 400.

Your indication of "islands off Seattle"

Your indication of "islands off Seattle"

That leaves a lot of territory open to the imagination with many varied subject options.

I don't know if it's appropriate, or if you have the time to inquire, but there is a visual arts education center on the South end of Whidby island with a large schedule of workshops in the area and on other islands.

It may be a good place to check on equipment choices for various subjects in the areas of Hood Canal and The San Juan islands. I have been on Whidby and a couple more of the islands and find the subject options extremely varied. If I were to spend much time there, I would travel by personal vehicle and take every piece of equipment I own.

Here is a link to the Coupeville Arts Center.

This is a long standing organization of some note.
