My first ever B&W film

I always find it expensive and a chore to shoot B&W films. Especially when i am not the one who develops it.

Only finally on my trip to Malacca that i decided to give it a try. Doing all the push etc on it. Thanks to Mikhail who passed me 2 rolls for my first test shoot!

Shoot mostly with Ultron 35mm f1.7 and some shots with the 75mm f2.5






The first set of raining photos that i took








Chi fei with his enormous Camera!(While hiding in the rain)






The locals setting up the stalls and ready for business!


This Ah Ma is very photogenic!


Coffee Uncle!


Indians love to smile!




Ops and i was caught!


Didnt really control the exposure well when pushing, ended up some of which loses a fair bit of details..but overall, its a success! Do you agree?

I'm addicted to films!

I was suppose to go ruby to get my developing stuff today. But ended up i couldnt resist to get some B&W films for storage. I might have mistaken about the 20% price hike after April and thought that its the end of film supply!

This was what i ended up with!


I didnt realise i bought alot of them till i pay at the counter.

At least i didnt forget my main motive there was to get the cheap fixer and the dark changing bag. Oh and i didnt manage to get enough cannister to roll the negative. So guess got to wait for a while...but with so many films to shoot, i guess i can wait.


N when i decided to keep them in the fridge, i realise.......


I am so going to love shooting films!

Malacca in Color

The last set of color photos off my R2A. I only managed to shoot a roll of colorplus on this trip. The balance are all taken in B&W.

I had a chance to walk through the streets of Malacca alone before i bumped into the rest at a junction.
Everything seems to be nostalgic here.












Every house has its own characteristic!


Colors are really beautiful here


Most of these locals are camera friendly






Jyasin...this was the picture taken all thanks to your little conversation.


Oh the queue for this Asam Laksa is always this long!


A picture i took and i met Thomas here who lend me his CV 12mm. Some shots taken with it.




This lens has a huge distortion issue but i cannot disagree that the contrast of the lens are really good. No issues with flare and somehow it gives abit of dynamic feel..
Definitely a good lens for landscape.



Will be collecting my B&W tomorrow~ cant wait to see how my first roll turn out to be..and the push effect...:)

Melaka...my trip with RF.SG

This was my first outing with RF.SG. In case you don know what it stands for, RF means Rangefinder...and RF.SG is a local rangefinder community from clubsnap.
Its really my honour to be able to join them for this trip. Although its a little tiring to wake up so early and end the day so late, this trip was a memorable and pleasant one for me.

For this trip, i brought along my Yashica MAT TLR for some color pictures..since i was determined to shoot some serious B&W using my R2A while at the same time, test my Ultron 35mm f1.7 lens.

Some pictures from my Yashica TLR, starting to love the quality of medium format




The Locals are still preserving the old trades..

Vanishing KTM Railway

After knowing that this railway station will end its service soon, we decided to visit this place. Its my first time there.

From my R2A, 35mm f2.5 color skopar and my fuji proplus 100
