35 Cameras Project, Canon z70W & Ricoh TF500

I introduced these two cameras earlier.

First the bad news....

Not sure what went wrong with the Ricoh TF500, but about half the roll was not exposed and the rest of it looked pretty badly focused/exposed. So, I'm not going to share anything from that camera right now until I run another roll through it. Looks like it's got some old camera blues going and could be headed to the bin.

Better news from the Canon z70W. Nice camera. I can't complain about the handling, though nothing about it really stood out as worth mentioning. It was competent in all circumstances and the results are probably a bit above average for a zoom of this period/price. I'm pleased with it and would be comfortable carrying it.

Results:

Zoomed to 70mm, good, clear and pretty sharp. 

I knew I'd like having 28mm available. The wider fov helped capture the setting for my monkey-boy.

There was a bit of vignetting at 28mm, but the circumstances were perfect for noticing it and I find it more of a feature than a bug.

Somehow, I forgot to do anything with the macro mode. I'm just not being terribly methodical about these tests, just running film through whereever I happen to be. That fits though. I'm not trying to do a comprehensive review of these old cameras, just see what it's like to carry them every day and shoot what I see.

So far I'd have to say the Canon is my second favorite behind the Fuji DL-400. If I wanted to take 2 different types of film, I'd take both cameras. If I only needed one, I'd take the Fuji.

Hey, try the Minolta action zoom 38-60! I just got one too, I think it might be good, 4 elements, 4 groups, two aspheric surfaces. Zoom is f4.3 (wide) to f6.3 (tele) though.

Oh, just noticed that it's bricked. Guess I'll have to hurry up with mine.

Would it be good to get on your guard associated with an total job caused by a number of undesirable oranges? You'll find at the least a pair of critical variances, it seems like in my opinion. 1st, no person concerns that will scientific disciplines actually works, no matter what wrongly diagnosed along with fake assert may possibly every now and then always be presented. Nevertheless no matter whether you'll find just about any "miraculous" solutions via faith-healing, outside of the human body's individual capacity to treat themselves, is incredibly very much in matter. Second, your expose' involving scam along with miscalculation throughout scientific disciplines is done virtually entirely by simply scientific disciplines. Though the direct exposure involving scam along with miscalculation throughout faith-healing is actually certainly not accomplished by simply various other faith-healers.
