After my initial disappointment with the Red Dragon, and after my failings with the Psychedelic Redscale, but before I knew how the roll in the One Touch would turn out, I decided to shove a roll into the FE and see how the Red Dragon would do pulled as far as I could manage. That …

For this month’s #FP4+ Party, and after being disappointed with much of my shooting over the past few months, I decided to try some macro-type stuff this time. I dressed the FE up in the Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 and PK-13 and started looking for stuff to shoot. Didn’t find much. It was a bit cool …
