Sorted out the Olympus 35RC light seals and spent a great day with my family at the Strawberry Fair in Cambridge.The Strawberry Fair is a free fair/festival run for and by the people of Cambridge. There is an eclectic mix of clothing stalls, herbal stalls, healing tents, ethnic foods, mini-circus tent, Science demos for children, games bus and live music that really begins in earnest later in the afternoon.
All in all a perfect opportunity to try out this small unobtrusive rangefinder. With the focus set in advance and a shutter speed pre-selected to give a reasonable depth of field (the camera is shutter priority so the aperture is set automatically depending on the shutter speed selected) I hopped around in front of the parade, grabbed some candids and generally had a great time with this little camera.
For those interested I used Ilford Delta 400 but had the camera set to 250 and developed the film in Ilford's LC29 film developer for probably 20% less time than recommended. All printed on Ilford MG 1V resin paper.
I have another roll of film with some Strawberry fair shots on so will post some more in due course.
