Posted @withregram • @walkaboutfilm Two snowy hikes & an undated roll of Portra 160: I loaded upwhat has become my go to hiking camera, the Nikon FM10. On 2023/01/29 we hiked from the Larch Mt. snow gate up to Sherrard Point & back in mostly sunshine. Then the following week on 2023/02/05 Chiyoko & I did a very cold, wet & snowy loop of Trillium Lake from Government Camp. #nikonFM10 #kodakportra160 #portra160 #ishootfilm #thefilmstead #rfb1k #sharefilm #drivebyfilm #seasonedfilm #upgradetofilm #thedaily35mm #magazine35mm #unmomentfilm #globalfilmma #filmisalive35mm #thedarkroom #embracethegrainpodcast #walkaboutfilm #trilliumlake Posted @withregram • @deddoarts My timing was impeccable… there were a few people meandering at the top of the falls, and I managed to snap this just as they walked behind the trees. Coal Creek Falls - with water this time! Posted @withregram • @seikkulaa Muistojen etäisyys Posted @withregram • @boringandempty Morning walks. new and old. Posted @withregram • @tips_of_beef . Posted @withregram • @walkaboutfilm The Argus C3 (The Brick) was in production from 1939 until 1966, around 2.2 million were sold. Due to it’s shape, durability & weight it became known as “The Brick”. In Japan it was known as “The Lunchbox”. The design of the C3 changed little over it’s 27 years in production. The sturdy build & simplicity made them long lasting and easy to fix if something did go wrong. They were commonly used in WWII by both American soldiers and at least one soldier turned Photographer, Tony Vaccaro. Jimmy Carter was also the proud owner of a C3!

These photos were taken at the Portland Lan Su Chinese Garden Lunar New Year Lantern Festival. I loaded a Nikon FM with the Cinestill 800 and a Nikon FM2 with Kodak Vision 3. Both rolls were shot at the recommended box speed, both cameras had a Nikon F1.4 lens but not the same model so this is not a direct comparison. I’m not drawing any broad sweeping conclusions but for these two rolls at least I prefer the Kodak Vision 3. #nikonFM #nikonFM2 #cinestill800T #kodakvision3 #ishootfilm #thefilmstead #rfb1k #sharefilm #drivebyfilm #seasonedfilm #upgradetofilm #thedaily35mm #magazine35mm #unmomentfilm #globalfilmma #filmisalive35mm #thedarkroom #embracethegrainpodcast #walkaboutfilm #analogportlandia #lansuchinesegarden #portlandia #lunarnewyear #lanternfestival Posted @withregram • @johnnymartyrphoto During our first trip, I didn’t get enough Eiffel Tower shots at night so it was a priority for me this time. I liked the leading lines and out of focus points of light here. M6TTL + 50 Cron + Tri-X at 1600 Posted @withregram • @walkaboutfilm Same Camera, switching to Vision3 250D. Nikon FM & Kodak Vision 3: Nikon introduced the FM in 1977 it continued until 1982 at which time it was succeeded by the Nikon FM2. The FM was the successor to the Nikkormat series of cameras. Smaller and more compact than the professional F series, they were nevertheless extremely well built and capable cameras. They could even use Non AI, AI and AIS lenses. The camera has a mechanical shutter with speeds of 1s to 1/1000th. Two 1.5V LR / SR44 batteries are needed to power the light meter. There was intense competition at this time between the main Japanese Camera Companies. Also released in 1977 was the Mechanical Pentax MX and in 1979 the Mechanical Olympus OM1n was also released as an update to the OM1. All three being extremely capable cameras.
