Ft. Funston Sunset Series w/ Ektar

Nikon F4s, Nikkor 35mm f2.0, Kodak Ektar 100

I finished the rest of that first Ektar roll at Ft. Funston. You may remember a previous set that I posted, which was taken with my G1 and 45-200mm on the same day.

Sausalito Dockyards Revisited - Ektar Roll

Hi Folks,

Just when I thought that shooting film is too much of a hassle, I finally get my scanned roll of Kodak Ektar 100 back from a lab in Austin, TX. I am very pleased with the results.

A couple of firsts here, this is my first ever roll of Ektar, and the first time that I am trying this mail-order lab. The Ektar has some punch to it, for sure, but I think just the fact that it's film also gives it a different look than the usual digital stuff.

I shot this roll with my Nikon F4s and Nikkor 35mm f2.0 last January on a photo outing with Dan to Sausalito. Using the F4s was, as always, a real pleasure. Yes, it's huge and heavy, but for me it's so familiar to me that using it is second nature. The Nikkor 35mm f2.0 lens is a manual focus lens, so it has a very comfortable and well damped focus action.

Do you remember the first few that we posted last January? If not, you'll need to go back into the January 2011 archives to view them. That day, I also used my Lumix G1 and Lumix 45-200mm.

Here are some selected images from that roll. Tell me what you think of them, and also which ones are your favorites :).
