35 years ago, as a reportage photographer, my Nikon FG-20 was stolen at an event. Now I could acquire the same make with the 50mm 1.8 pancake, note, in new condition for little money. The FG-20 is the smallest and lightest analog SLR Nikon had ever built. It was produced for two years from 1984 – 1986.
As is so often the case, there are wars of faith in photography. The analog photographers looking for the finest grain. The digital photographers who interpret brightness noise as fine grain. And I belong to the faction that if I’m going to shoot analog, I want to see grain, otherwise I might as well use my digital camera. The Ilford Delta 400 has a very flat fine grain. Combined with a yellow filter, I get an ounce more contrast, as this film tends to be lower contrast. Not to be compared with an HP5+ or T-max 400. Now it’s a matter of waiting for the film to come back from the specialist lab. And there it is 🙂 Nice contrast with fine soft grain
