Shintaro had found a cache of Kodak +X Aerocon film - manufactured in 1995 and passed some on to me. I did a test roll, rated it at 100 iso and 'souped" it in Beutler 1:10 for 6.5 min. Looks pretty good - not much fogging either. Interesting film base, super thin and somewhat flimsy. You could probably load at least 70+ exposures in an IXMOO cassette!!!!

Sign explaining why the tree has to be removed. In spite of substantial bolts trying to hold it together it did reach its "best before" date - and last year it actually dropped a big branch and trapped two women underneath it. Luckily no serious injuries.

I did rate the Aerocon film at 100 - but I might drop it to 80 iso. A bit "flat" even in the Beutler.
The Heliar 15f4.5 did well - wide, yes - but not unmanageably so.I did get the new all metal finder while in Japan - to match the 12 mm finder. Huge improvement over the plastic finders.

Nice old wooden building on West Broadway. Kept in nice shape and with the obligatory Cafe in the corner - and a used bookstore next to that. What else do you need!

The light was rather flat and I think rating the Aerocon film at 64 or 80 iso would have helped a bit here.
The west side of Vancouver suffers the dubious distinction of having single homes averaging $2.4 million - and as this house is brand new - probably more than that. Kits Point is also a prime location.
