I've barely shot this year, January and February were too cold for me and I was ill during those months often. March was filled with a few days of the X-Pro 2 and then work on my house started and I ended up with a Bronica SQ-Ai and a 135W pano back. Over the last 80 or so days, the new X-Pro 2 and all my other cameras were abandoned while I had fun with the Bronica on the few days I could get to leave the house.
So with new found freedom, I went back to some old gear. My Yashica FX-3 Super 2000 and decided to try out an infrared film that's been sitting in my fridge waiting to be used. Not owning an R72 filter, I was really unsure on how to shoot it, forgetting about the IR focus scale on my lens (though that seemed to be pointless without a filter).
Some of the results were flawed due to my lack of light and lack of a steady hands but the shots that did turn out right were real nice. As always, no quality is guaranteed.
I found the grain to be quite pleasing and it's relatively sharp too. I'd really love to shoot a bit more of this but I'd have to cough up some money for an R72 filter first. I still have a roll of 135 and 120 to shoot later, but we'll see if it makes an outing again.
