Olympus Trip 35 | Tri-X @ 1600
Enjoyable weekend in Portland with old college friend Sherri.

Thus far, I'm still preferring Tri-X pushed to 1600 more than the "native" high-speed films.

Olympus Trip 35 | Delta 3200
The new Ripple, from the former owner of Siberia, now called Manhattans...within dangerously close stumbling distance of my apartment.

More Olympus Trip tests with Delta 3200. In my usual haphazard way of doing things, I decided to process it at halfway between 1600 and 3200.

Languid | Lower East Side

Olympus Trip 35 | Delta 3200
More Trip 35 tests...trying it on "shutter priority" mode to see what it's capable of. The Trip does flash-sync at 1/40 with user-chosen apertures, or can be used on auto only up to ISO 400. It worked out pretty well with high-speed film and just keeping in mind it would always be 1/40.
