Went out a few weeks back and shot a roll of Bergger Pancro 400 and 2 rolls Ilford Delta 400 using a CHINON CE-5 35mm SLR with a Auto Chinon Multi-Coated F1.7 50mm Lens that I was testing.
Well, the camera worked quite well, the light meter was accurate most of the time and there were no light leaks which is good. The only downside is that the Chinon lens is not very sharp especially when you compare it to my FD mount lenses which are very sharp. The good thing is that it uses a Pentax K mount so there is plenty of good Pentax glass out there that I can get to use on this camera.
As for the film stocks I used, the Bregger Pancro was a bit too flat for my liking I much prefer the Ilford Delta. As the year progresses, I think I will try out some slower film at ISO’s 100 & 200 next.
