Three Cameras At The Courthouse

This week the theme is all about my three camera experiments. I love trying out new film and seeing how it stacks up against my normal photography. Having a few cameras make one photo is a great way to try some things out and find out how the different kinds of film stack up against each other. This week my afternoon theme will be a few of these projects.

Sony A7RIII With Sony 24-105mm Lens

This is my main walk around camera and lens. I use it nearly every day, and it kind of becomes my control in this experiment. I know what it does and what I can get from it. This kind of becomes the camera that I compare everything else to. I kind of hate that it becomes the boring photo of the post, but it kind of does.

Minolta Freedom Zoom 125 With Aurora 800

This is my little point and shoot film camera. I liked it so much that I bought a second version for when this one inevitably fails. Here I had it loaded with Aurora 800 film from a concert that I was at. 800 speed film might be a little much for daylight so of course this is a little washed out.

Sears TLS With FujiFilm 400

The reason that I was on the walk where I made this photo was to use up the film in my old Sears camera. I had had the film in it for over a year so I wanted to finally get rid of the film. It is funny how this works. The film here is the cheapest film that you can buy for the most part, but it looks so dang good. I will have to remember that in the future.

The Verdict

I really like how that FujiFilm 400 speed film looks. The Sears camera that I made the photo with is a family heirloom which in some cases might mean the difference in a close battle. I don’t think that this one is close though. The point and shoot film camera is a little washed out, and my everyday camera just has that look to it. The Sears TLS photo wins hands down in my opinion. Which photo is your favorite?
