Olympus OM-2, Zuiko Auto-W 21mm f\/3.5, Kodak BW400CN black & white film. Shooting black and white is new to me. I’ve never really had any luck shooting black and white film. It’s probably because I stink at it. \u00c2\u00a0But on a recent engagement I literally had to shoot black and white because that was what is in the camera at the time. I needed to switch to color film and I still had about 10 frames of Kodak’s BW400CN. \u00c2\u00a0Yet another that was new to me is the lens I was shooting with. \u00c2\u00a0It was a Zuiko 21mm f\/3.5. A recent acquisition when I purchased it along with a Zuiko Auto-S 50mm f\/1.2 (which was what I was after in the first place) and a E.Zuiko Auto-T 100mm f\/2.8 (a lens I already had). \u00c2\u00a0But the price for the three lenses was close to a bargain as you’ll ever get on eBay. Thus I made the purchase knowing I’ll probably resell the two lenses I didn’t need. I think I’ll be keeping this copy of the 21mm now that I had the opportunity to use it in the field. \u00c2\u00a0Two observations I took away from this shoot were that the Zuiko Auto-W 21mm f\/3.5 is very sharp at 5.6 and beyond. Second is Kodak’s BW400CN film is very fine grain compared to Ilford’s XP2 Super 400 black and white color process film. \u00c2\u00a0I shot these scenes using my internal meter on my Olympus OM-2 (very accurate compared to my Sekonic L-308 hand held meter). \u00c2\u00a0Also I set my ISO on the camera to 200 rather than 400.\u00c2\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
