Power Plant, Michigan City, February 2018

March 22, 2018 in photographs

Camera and Lens: Bronica SQ-Ai, Zenzanon PS 250mm f/5.6 + Zenzanon PS 2x Teleconverter
Film stock: Ilford HP5+
Exposure: 800
Developer: Ilfotec HC

I'd been considering getting rid of either the 250mm lens or the 2x teleconverter to simplify my camera kit a little bit.

However, I got to use both -at the same time- very recently. I made a few images of a power plan in Michigan City from the nearby Indiana Dunes, and the combination of the long lens plus the teleconverter (500mm, or 275mm in full frame equivalent) proved to be very useful. I wouldn't be able to catpure it without them.

So I'm back to the drawing board and considering keeping both for situations like this, where I definitely need that focal length.
