6 Frames - Nikonos IVa

  • Where: A lake somewhere in Bavaria
  • Camera: Nikon Nikonos IVa
  • Lens: Nikon Nikonos Nikkor 35mm f/2.5
  • Film: Kentmere 100
  • Scan: Nikon Super Coolscan 9000

This is a test roll shot through a recently acquired Nikon Nikonos IVa meant to accompany me on my next swimming trip. I had to check if everything was working, sans testing whether the camera was sufficiently watertight, as I did not want to risk it yet. When I scanned the roll I was pleasantly surprised by how sharp the images came out. There is no way to check the focus during shooting as it is a camera without a rangefinder. This gives me some confidence that this wonderful piece of kit will fulfill its purpose splendidly.
