One Shot

  • Where: A lake somewhere in Bavaria.
  • Camera: Contax D
  • Lens: Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm f/2.0
  • Film: Kentmere Pan 100
  • Scan: Nikon Super Coolscan 9000

Once upon a time, I bought a Contax D at the Midnight Bazaar. It came with a beautiful Zeiss Jena Biotar and a, unbeknownst to me, sticky first shutter curtain with a pinhole light leak. The image is from a test roll of Kentmere Pan 100, shot on a quick photo walk aimed at getting the darn roll finished. I already had a hunch that something was wrong, which led to some procrastination with getting the camera test done. It is one of only four (of 24) frames that did not suffer from the sticky shutter curtain and despite the light leak, I like it a lot.
