KMZ, Zenit-XP, 35mm SLR, results 2

The 40+ buildings at the Weald and Down museum are set in 50 acres of open space and woodland. In order to view all the buildings you have to walk through the park, though hugely biased, I have to say it is a very pleasant day out!! In this day of digital cameras it's nice to see that an old Zenit can out-perform a modern digital by several magnitudes. You could process 56 films of high quality images (over 2000 pictures) for the cost of a reasonable digital. Heavily cropped image, about 28% of frame.

Full 35mm frame. Part of the extensive woodland at the Weald and Down Museum. The Museum booklet suggests a minimum of 2 and 1/2 hours to see the site, take my advice - get up early and use the entire day, and be prepared to go back for more.

Due to its very low value, the Zenit is about the only camera allowed out in the rain! It was actually beginning to rain when this shot was taken. Again heavily cropped, equivalent to 24 inch print. The original is very crisp - this doesn't translate well to the website.
