Devil in the Details


The Nineties may seem like a hell of a long time ago from today's perspective nearly a quarter of the way into the twenty first century. But the little Hexar AF and its phenomenal 35mm f/2 lens remind us that life was still mighty fine back in the day, at least insofar as high quality photographic imaging was concerned. As I was spotting this scanned negative, I noticed what I thought was a dust spot in the upper right third of the image. A closer look reveals that it is actually the image of an airplane! And a still closer examination shows that one can easily make out the horizontal stabilizers at the rear of the aircraft. 

Not bad from a 35mm negative!


Not to mention the wonderful sweep of the clouds in the winter sky.

Tasting notes: Konica Hexar AF, Ilford Pan F Plus.
