EM

I've also got orange and and pale blue filters to play with if the subject and opportunity present themselves while we're away on our hols soon.
I'll be taking mostly slower film with me (various varieties) on our jaunt on the canals. Whether I'll get much time in between navigating, then all the domestic chores, though, is another matter lol.

Having been on boating holidays myself that all sounds very ambitious. As you say you'll have your work cut out working the boat, great fun though.

A little write-up, with a few more pics, for anyone interested.

Very interesting, Ralph. Great write up of your experiences with the EM.

@Peter Roberts we love getting out onto the Cut when we can. It should be a little cooler this time. Went in July/August time last year and it was roasting.

Many thanks, Peter.

I shot most of a roll of Kodak Gold 200 this morning with the Rollei. I guess I'll need to re-load it before going to the coast.

Sounds good. Reloading with same or something different?

I had two rolls of Kodak Gold 200 left over from loading the Perkeo a couple of years ago. So the Gold "expired" sometime last year. I have no idea if I should worry about it. It has sat on the shelf at room temp. I shot it at box speed. I did a few over/under exposures of one shot.

The last roll will go to the beach with me on the 15th.

I should receive the F2 this week. I'm not sure what I'll load into that. I've been thinking about one of those oddball color films.

I don't very often shoot colour film, though I did try a 120 roll of Lomography Metropolis last summer, with it's cool, muted hues. I kind of like it. My son gave it to me as a Father's day present.

Maybe I'll try Lomo Turquoise or Lomo Purple.

I wonder what happens when you channel swap them - do they just go back to normal?

Interesting question... I haven't a clue

I asked on DPReview and got a reply with an example - it does seem to simply revert to a normal shot.

Ah, ok. Kinda takes the fun out of it, though..

Agreed, might as well just do it in post. I may just get a roll of 120 and shoot my 12 shots and see if the film brings any magic to it.
