This was the first outing for the Ricoh 35FM, and I enjoyed photographing with it. I ended up with some good photos, but no really amazing ones. That was partially on purpose; I tend to avoid taking unique shots on a test roll, just because I’m not sure if anything will even come out. I should probably rethink my philosophy there…
Overall thoughts: This camera is very automatic, except for the focus and film speed. I might take it places where I’d be hesitant to take my Lomo LC-A (since it’s getting older and slightly fragile), but not if it involved very low-light situations. Indoors by a window = OK. Indoors by lamplight = not OK.

Brownie Bullet
[Taken 24 January 2011 | iPhone 4 | Instagram filter: Earlybird]
This week’s photo would have been by the Brownie Bullet, rather than of the Brownie Bullet, had the weather not turned nasty late this afternoon. I decided that the drive to Taylor Photo wasn’t worth risking my safety — not over eight exposures of 127 film.
Just remember that the photos you’ll see next week will have been taken by this camera.

The last time I used this camera was 2007 — this roll came out a lot better than that one did. I’m not sure what’s up with the tobacco tint, but perhaps the negative sleeves I got at Goodwill didn’t come from a non-smoking home.
