Ditching the idea of taking out any camera or meter with a battery because I figured it would be at least an hour to walk and shoot in the awful weather I settled on an old war standby. The Contax IIIa and mounting a 1942 era Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm lens, as for a meter it was the Gossen Pilot.<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/33087709850\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Expired Film Day 2017\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/4\/3726\/33087709850_3f8b27cd5a_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"657\" alt=\"Expired Film Day 2017\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/33087710690\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Expired Film Day 2017\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/4\/3944\/33087710690_6f6d94ab86_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" alt=\"Expired Film Day 2017\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>There was a plus to all this, the overcast sky and bright sun behind the clouds made the light bright but even making metering fairly consistent no matter what I was shooting. As for the subject, I decided to take to my old stomping grounds, the campus of my former High School. This was where I started with serious photography, often taking time between classes to figure out my newest camera. I was pretty frozen by the time I made it back, but the camera had survived. The older lens gave everything a bit of a hazy look about it which only added to the strangeness of EFD. Maybe next year I&#8217;ll plan it out better to have a batch of colour negative waiting for developing and then shoot some expired slide film and Xpro it!<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/33430404176\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Expired Film Day 2017\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/1\/594\/33430404176_10c4d98123_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"658\" alt=\"Expired Film Day 2017\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/33087708550\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Expired Film Day 2017\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/4\/3894\/33087708550_353287363f_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"655\" alt=\"Expired Film Day 2017\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em>Contax IIIa &#8211; Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 1:3,5 f=5cm &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-64 (TMX)<br \/>\nSPUR HRX (1+17) 11:30 @ 20C<br \/>\nMeter: Gossen Pilot<br \/>\nScanner: Epson V700<br \/>\nEditor: Adobe Photoshop CC (2017)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two Stops Over and Straight On &#8216;Til Morning.
