Got some new film for my Canonet GIII

[schrackman]

This ought to make Aaron happy! I'm going to put my Canonet through some more film tests, this time using Portra 160VC and Velvia 50, the latter of which I found out was about twice the price of the former, but I need to try it at least once.

I did shoot some slide film recently but my Epson scanner just isn't putting out enough light for good scans. I really need a dedicated film scanner! I also shot some Ilford FP4+ that I'm sending out for processing in rodinal. Can't wait for those! The last batch produced some great b/w shots.

Anyhow, I'm gonna shoot the Portra first and I'll post my results in a couple of weeks.

Oh, almost forgot...I finally got brave enough to open up the top of my Canonet and clean the viewfinder. Man, what a difference!! If any of you out there have rangefinders, you know what it is like to try and manually focus with a hazy viewfinder–not fun!
