The Highway...










The History of my subject: The Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) is the oldest inter-city limited access freeway in all of Canada.

Originally built as "The middle Road" between 1932 and 1937 it ran from Toronto all the way to Niagara Falls.

The idea to rename the Middle Road to the Queen Elizabeth Way to commemorate a visit by His Majesty King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (The Queen Mother) on June 6th, 1939.

Nice bit of kit. I like the pics too. What developer did you use? Isn't it great when you get a new bit of gear. It makes you want to get out there and start shooting.

I love new gear, especially when it's older equipment. I didn't develop these myself, sent then to my usual pro lab.

Superb, Axle. I always loved the 645. Great results, sharp, great contrast. May i ask how much it set you back?

Wow, amazing. And, to be honest, better results than digital.
