It Works

Check it out, folks. My new/old/used camera works!

My first Digital SLR camera was a Nikon D90. This is a Nikon N90… no relation. Though if I am honest, once I found out that the camera with almost the same name as my first camera could autofocus and do all of the stuff I was looking for, it made it seem like a no brainer that I would eventually get one… because I am a nerd, through and through.

The first roll used a AF Nikkor 70–210mm 1:4–5.6 lens and Kodak ColorPlus 200 film. I took some pics at home in the back yard, in Lowell along the Merrimack River, and then downtown in Methuen. At first I thought they were a little overexposed, but on second view I think they are pretty much okay. Here’s a random sample (of the pics that suck the least).

The second roll was through a AF Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8 (2) lens. I added the (2) to the name because I already had a lens with the same name, but this one is a little different. Is it better? Well who knows. I do know that it fogged up on me a little. At some point I’ll do a side by side comparission and see which one I prefer. For now, I think this 50mm prime might be the better of the two lenses that came with the camera. The film in this round was Kentmere 400. Also known as cheap black and white film. I went to Walnut Grove Cemetery in Methuen and then walked across the street to the Methuen Rail Trail which includes the Mighty Spicket River.

And there we have it. A shit load of examples of how my cool new autofocusing film camera actually works and isn’t a leaky mess.

Insert an emphatic sigh of relief here.

It's really interesting to have a true social media blank slate. Photographer here. For now I'm going to try posting mostly 35mm film stuff from my archives until I get inspired not to. This is me. #blackandwhite #analogphotography #nikon #n90 #nikonn90 #35mm #selfie #mirrorselfie #firstpost #alwaysreadthealttext
