San Francisco BW


They were shot with NIKON F3 with 50/1.8 E Series and a yellow filter and TMAX.
The nikon F3(when works) handles great. The exposures are OK with AE (I wish they had an exp. lock), it sits in the hand much better then the FM2N. The Exp. info is much worse(to small).

The dude with the girl with the dog(compicated) was pleasantly suprised seeing me using manual nikons and said he has one(FE or FE2 he uses for years and took around the world with him).

  1. Hey Michael,

    What’s your post processing like for these. The first one has a yellow cast on it and the last two have a green cast to it. It’s probably straight from the scanner right?

    Second question is how many cameras did you take to SF and how did you fit it all in your bag? Hahah…

    Good stuff.

  2. nikon fm2n,f3,4 lenses(50/1.4;
    50/1.8,28/1.8,75-150/3.5).
    I loaded one with color and one with BW. I carried 2-3 lenses at a time(2×50,28+50,50+75-150)

    I scan the BW in color mode and often leave the color cast. I since I like it.
