I had this roll of film sitting in my Rolleiflex for a few weeks and finally finished it yesterday, and developed it last night. This row of trees is one of the more photographed spots in High Park; easy to see why!
Rolleiflex 3.5E3, Xenotar lens
TMax 400 film @ E.I. 200, slight pull in development
This image taken at the Beaches seemed to work better for me cropped and with higher contrast, to make the horizon line a bit indistinct.

Rollei RPX 25 film
Inside one of the art structures on the Beaches. This image (taken with my Kodak Medalist I on respooled Tri-X) was not easy to focus!
I’ve shot this Gazebo in the Beaches a lot, so it seemed logical to shoot it with my newly acquired Hasselblad 500 c/m and 80mm lens. I shot on Rollei RPX film, developed in Rodinal. I LOVE this combo of film, lens and developer!
This past Sunday I was out with my friend and fellow film enthusiast Bill Smith, and took a few portraits. For this one I used my Kodak Medalist camera, with respooled Tri-X film, developed in Ilfosol 3.
I tend not to do a lot of bird photography, but this caught my eye this past Saturday down at the Beaches.

TMax 100 film
For some reason, I’ve never shot on top of the Scarborough Bluffs before; I went for the first time on Saturday morning to Cathedral Bluff, with my Mamiya RZ67 and 65mm/3.8 wide-angle lens and Rollei Retro 80s film. I’ll definitely be back!
Yesterday I had a lovely shoot with my friend Zoe. I shot two cameras, my newly acquired Hasselblad 500 C/M, and my Mamiya RZ67. Both make great portrait cameras, and on a tripod the weight difference makes no difference. A portrait is not about the camera though, and just like last time, Zoe gave some beautiful and interesting expressions. More to come 🙂

Kodak TMax 400 film, developed in TMax Developer
I finally broke down and got a Hasselblad. Because I am on a self-imposed new gear diet for 2016, the only way to make this happen was to sell some gear. It was a difficult decision, but I think the Hassy and I will get along just fine 🙂
Toronto Beaches, Hasselblad 500C/M, 80mm/2.8 Planar lens
Acros 100 film developed in Rodinal
Some more images from last Sunday at the cemetery. These are from a roll of what I thought was Rollei Retro 400s, but it turns out it was 80s, so I was two stops under-exposed. I decided to do a two hour stand-develop in Rodinal as a push, and a lot of the roll turned out to be quite usable :-). All taken with my Mamiya RZ67, and 65mm/3.8 lens with 25A red filter
