2 square crops/2 cameras

[Katastrofo]

Shot these yesterday, we've been having some really crappy weather
lately.

This shot is using the Ricoh XR-10M with Industar 50-2 and shortest
Zeiss extension tube:

Arista 100 color film
and this shot is using the Konica T4/UC Hexanon 4/80-200mm zoom:

Kodak Gold 200 film

Don't much care for the highlights (upper right) in the first one.

That duck brings back memories!!! I used to have 7 of them when I was a kid.

I really like to see the film grain! I think it adds to the photos.

Shad, Patrick, and Attila, thanks for your comments!

That is the Muscovy duck, and the park downtown has lots of these
compared to mallards. They are twice the size of a mallard which might
explain things.

The UC Hexanon zoom is a great performer, need to shoot it more. A
friend on flickr once asked me what my "primary shooting rig" was and
I didn't have an answer for him. Is it that important to have a
primary shooting rig? Maybe it is, I kind of see myself the owner of
a bunch of different cameras and the master of none.

Thanks again,

Bill
