How I fell in love with my Canon Canonet QL17 G-III

I picked up some photos yesterday from Boots. I had enquired in several places around the town if they developed black and white films, to be told that they didn’t anymore. Boots, fortunately, still develop black and white, but I had to wait two weeks for the prints.
In the old days I would have developed and processed the film myself, but I just don’t have the time to do that anymore.
For the first time in ages, nearly all the photos in the pack were, I felt, worthy of scanning and uploading to flickr. Naturally, I cropped and edited a few once they were scanned.
The film I used was Rollei Retro 100 and my new favourite camera – my Canon Canonet QL 17 G-III.

Turkey was great. Went white water rafting. Also had a fairly hair raising ride on a bus up to a castle, which put Linda off going on a jeep safari. xxxxx

You could try chromogenic film like XP2 or Fuji Neopan c41? It ain’t proper mono but really handy as you get the prints in an hour if you so wish.
I mostly shoot Neopan ( a variant of XP2 actually ) and I used to shoot the kodak stuff.
For colour, Fuji Reala really rocks in the QL.
I haven’t tried transparency film in it yet…been a while since i shot any.

M – I had a hair raising ride in a jeep in Mexico, though I was too travel sick to focus on anything outside the jeep. I’m not sure if that was a blessing in disguise or not.
MFG – thanks for the recommendations. I’ve used the XP2 many times and the Fuji Reala, but I’ve never tried thee Neopan.
LA – a few hundred, blimey! Glad you like them.
