Recently I go the film back that I had been waiting to have
processed that I shot with my Nikon 35Ti, and I was very pleased with the
results. You can read my initial impressions here. I shot Kodak E100VS E6 slide
film, and after reading some user reviews on the web, I set the exposure
compensation for +2/3 of a stop. This
was a wise and fortuitous move, as all the exposures were close to spot on.
The other thing that impressed me was sharpness. The lens in this camera is excellent, with
tons of detail resolved on the film. A
35mm f2.8 lens is enough to isolate objects and throw the background out of
focus, as well as keeping the lens small.
There are two things that annoy me even more about the
camera from when I used it.. The first
is that the panoramic switch is easily and unknowingly moved, so a lot of my
shots were (sadly) cropped. The second
is you can't tell if critical focus has been acheived. Some of my shots, especially those close to
the subject when wide open, were out of focus.
Not much you can do about this though.
Lastly, the flash works fine, but it sure doesn't have the
finesse of my Fuji X100 for fill in.
Otherwise, I was really very pleased with the quality of the
photos, and I think I'll hang on to this camera for a while.
