Grainy delight - 8/100

Grainy delight, originally uploaded by Focal Intent.

Playing around with some rented lenses today, trying to decide what i'm going to get next. This shot was taken with a 50mm lens using delta 3200 film - I was a bit sloppy in handling the film (got impatient to see the differences between the 30mm, 40mm, and 50mm lenses i rented) - but even without that, the 3200 film is grainy. But I think that's part of what I like about this shot.

Another lens test shot. This time with the 40mm lens. Again, delta 3200 film - this strip of negatives got a little less manhandled than the last one though, so the scan came out a little cleaner.

It'd be a bad idea to make a final decision after one roll of film, but I'm thinking the 40mm is going to get my vote for next lens on the Island.
