Fuji Pro 400H (format 120)

far I was only black and white format 120 ( Ilford FP4 + + and HP5, Fuji Neopan 400). It must be said that the rollers 120 color are generally sold by five, which in case it does not work would be a bit annoying.

It must be said that the three devices that I have on hand in this format, both are frankly old (the Voigtlander and Semflex) I admit to not being very sure of the color of their optical behavior. Recall that, without appropriate surface treatment of the lenses, their properties are slightly different depending on the wavelength, which induces aberrations Chromatic not necessarily pleasing to the eye. The YashicaMat was one of three that worried me the least from this point of view, so it is with him that I did the test. And I'm pretty happy with the result.

• Type: color reversal film
• Manufacturer: Fujifilm
• Type: Pro 400H
• nominal Sensitivity: ISO 400/27 ° Format
• : roller 120 (also exists 135 format, etc.).

One advantage of this film is very tolerant of differences of exposure, which, when calculating its exposure with a cell hand-off age, is quite valuable. And then the colors are subtle as always with Pro400H: more dynamic we believe when the sun shines, light sweet weaker.

once I have purchased the prints from my first roll compulsive disorder. Per package of five.

Flash Pentax AF330FTZ

A flash Pentax detonates a bit in my range (the T series models, such as flash AF200T which I had already spoken): Pentax AF330FTZ.

The nomenclature

the Pentax flash is actually quite explicit: the number gives the power (330 guide number means = 33m) and the letters that follow provide capacity. T means a flash that can adapt its power by the TTL (sensor internal to the device indicating the amount of light to be provided); F flashes reported adapting their power according to data from auto-focus, which implies a fourth point in the connector connecting the flash unit for digital data communication, Z, finally, indicates that the flash is capable of zooming to adapt its coverage to the distance where is the object photographed.

short: FTZ means a flash designed for the latest generation of film cameras, such as my Pentax MZ-10 (or the MZ-5n).

So what about this flash?

First, we must know that all the advanced features (most attractive) only work with recent cases (type MZ something) - but not with digital SLRs, that are not TTL, but the P-TTL ( Pentax FGZ series, dear dear dear plus VAT). On the other, it has a fairly basic flash functionality, integrated cell-free (I am generally more confident in the cell at sensor TTL flash) and with a fixed head. Not very exciting.

Note also that the guide number shown (ie the maximum range for ISO 100 film with an f / 1) is valid for the maximum zoom, ie a focal length greater than or equal to 85mm. In 50mm, it has a guide number of 28, not exactly impressive. To translate it into French, it means that maximum zoom, ISO 400 with aperture at f / 4 it has a reach of 16m. Not bad, but not with how we will make nature documentaries.

short, on all Pentax lately, this is a very suitable alternative to flash. But do not ask him to play flash professionals.
