Friends found it hard to believe when I told them that I shot only about a roll of 120 on my Diana F+ and maybe 15 frames on my LC-A+ during my recent vacation to Taiwan. It is not that I wasn’t trigger happy but … the *cough cough* truth is … I was spending too much time playing with the X-Pro1. Okay … let’s not talk about the X-Pro1 for now.<\/p>\n

There were some frames left in a roll that I loaded into my Diana F+ and it was so long ago (that I loaded it) … I couldn’t remember what film it was! So the usual I-don’t-give-a-damn attitude made me bring it along to Taiwan and I managed to finish the rest of the frames (without knowing the film speed). When I finally opened up the camera back … out came a roll of Rollei Retro 400. For a moment I got a bit worried because I was shooting in bright daylight.<\/p>\n

After screwing up the last time I tried self-developing 120 black & white film … I took a risk and got this roll developed just now. Thank God it turned out fine!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fortunately 9 out of the 12 frames survived but there are a couple of shots that I ended up asking myself ‘Why on earth did I even bother to shoot this?’. Can you guess which ones? \ud83d\ude00 Hint : I like messy doubles<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of my favorite from this roll (above).<\/em><\/p>\n

I sure miss shooting with the Diana F+ and just now when I was waiting for the scanning to complete … I kept asking myself why do I not use the Diana F+ often. The one and only answer I could accept (from myself!) is perhaps … I am lazy and usually like to use the LC-A+ because of the size and the existence of a meter on it. \ud83d\ude00 Not a good reason … I know. Diana … I’m sorry but I’ll take you out on dates more often from now on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love this messy one above!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This one above is one of the ‘Why on earth did I shoot this?’ shot. \ud83d\ude00<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I do have few more shots (from Taiwan) in a roll of slides that I loaded after I finished this black & white one. Now the problem is … when can I finish the remaining frames in it. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This last one (above) is one that wasn’t shot in Taiwan. I just can’t recall where I shot it. \ud83d\ude00<\/em><\/p>\n

After this ‘comeback roll’, I think I’m gonna put the Diana F+ to much more good use from now on. Diana … daddy’s back!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
