Sorry work keeps me away so much - we have a rainy weekend, we've been watching 'A Summer Place', I just got some scanned film back shot weeks ago - and one thing leads to another :cool:
I took the FM3A with the Nikkor 45mm f2.8P to the wedding of the son of my late friend John. It was held on the Gold Coast, which is a place full of characters. We have some warm and wacky friends there.
The film was Fuji Superia ISO 200 (C41) and immediately I got inside the cute little chapel I knew there would be trouble; so little light - and no flash!!
But when I saw the scans I realised two things. The meter on the FM3A is just superb, and the little 45/2.8 has a luminosity and bokeh wide open that rivals anything else I have got - whether Leica or Nikkor, even the HexarAF with its superb 35/2.0
the chapel in question - or as they say in the trial movies 'the locus in quo' :eek:
my Annie in the middle with two of her dear friends, and all the better for the colours!
the mother of the groom - we love her dearly and she is so dramatic - this was the moment after she realised that the video equipment was not working
Mark the groom - they flew to the States the next morning and repeated the ceremony for relatives in CA - don't know how they managed it
one of the chirpiest guests in the chapel - and later at the party!
showing the bokeh of the 45mm and how they got around the failure of the video gear :rolleyes:
