Well, as promised here are the photos from the other day.  They are the
last 12 in the right hand column.  You can click on the images when they
appear in the left hand window to see a larger version in a new window.

A few personal observations:

There was a little ghosting of moving figures because the shutter speed
was so slow to bring up the background (usually 1/8 or 1/4).  This isn't
necessarily bad, but maybe someone has some suggestions?

Rating the film at 250 was absolutely necessary as some of the negatives
were a bit thin even with the extra 2/3 stop!  This may be due in part
to my calculations, but I will keep the rating as a minimum from now on.

The 35 shift has again proven its weight in gold.  Everyone NEEDS to
have one of these lenses!! Seriously.

Most of the long shots were done w/ the 135/2.8 at about 50 feet at full
aperture.  I wish I could have used the 200/4 for some, but I would need
to get faster film, or a more powerful flash.  Has anyone used the zoom
extender for the T32?  Does it give you much more power in the long
shots?

I will fabricate a diffuser for the T32 from some vellum for the 21mm
shots.  Even at close distances with half power, it was so strong that
my f-stop darkened the background too much.  True, I could have used
longer shutter speeds, but 1/4 second was almost too long!

Any and all suggestions are welcome.  I am still receiving a few e-mails
about the summer exchange, but will have the list posted today.


Many Thanks,


Bob
