• M42 Lenses: The Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 2.8/35

  
  The second of my four part series is about a 35mm lens, slightly wide it has a wonderful range of applications, quite fast for lower light, wide enough for an everyday lens but not too wide to be specialist.

• Cross-Processed Fuji Velvia 50 RVP: Keeps the Spirit of Your Scenes

  
  A while ago I ordered Fuji Velvia 50 RVP 35mm color slide film because I liked the idea of getting very fine grained pictures it promises to deliver. It is a slow speed film that, if treated with xpro, features slight to medium versatile color shifts and very saturated colors. Compared to the Velvia ISO 100's typical red and purplish hues, cross-processing the Velvia ISO 50 brings you more subtle but still distinctive results. It's not the best choice for night photography. Now, the colors that it brings is what I like about it.
