Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 400 color negative film (expired 2019-11). No post-processing. Scanned by the lab.
I’m very pleased with the results of my recent test roll through the Nikon. The One Touch AF3 (987) has a Nikon f2.8 35mm lens that’s been reported to be not quite as sharp as the original Nikon lens used in the first version of the camera, the Nikon L35AF. The autofocus was accurate and I’m pleased with the autoexposure of this image given the late afternoon sun and strong contrast of the scene. I’ll be testing the original L35 soon and I’ll be able to get some comparisons between the two.

It would have been interesting to have shot with some of the new Kodak films but with the current price of film, I stayed with the Fujicolor. I’m happy with the Nikon’s performance. More pics to follow.

At 36.3 megapixels, this full-frame camera is hard to beat. I’ve paired it with a super sharp AF Nikkor 24mm f2.8 D lens which is one of my favorite combinations to shoot with in the tight quarters of the historic district of downtown Fernandina Beach, Florida.

I’ll be listing this set very soon in my shop at a very attractive price. Stay tuned and thanks for stopping by! – Chris

Nikon Coolpix S3000 – a super sharp compact with a bunch of cool features.
We love collecting these often overlooked digitals from the 2010s and beyond. Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Fujifilm were locked head to head with trying to pack as many features and megapixels into the smallest body they could. Fujinon, Nikkor, Carl Zeiss, and Canon optics combined with powerful zooms make these a blast to use and with great results too.
Here’s a few samples from this Nikon.

We’ve collected lots of these little gems and enjoy taking them out for a spin from time to time.
