I Won't Give You No Money

Today I went to the park.  I took the Nikon N70 with the intent of finishing the roll that I started yesterday, and I took the Nikon N2020 with the intention of using an entire roll today.  I didn't quite accomplish that, which is fine.

I took the 2020 with one of the weirder crap lenses that I've purchased.

It is a Benoison 85mm F/1.8.

The f-stops are weird as can be. I realize that it is a "portrait" lens, and I'm probably using it wrong, but seriously?

 

There ain't no thing between f/10 and f/22. My light meter app was appalled. It also didn't give me an option to program an f/6 and one other that I don't remember in there, so I had to wing it. I was something like 2/10 of a stop off for those two.

Anyway, I think this lens makes the camera look even more like it came straight from 1986 than it already did.

I look forward to posting the highlights of the roll of film when I finally develop both this and the N70. But I'm going to have to finish this roll, and I suspect it won't happen this week.
