Kodak Ektar 100 is a fantastic film stock. It's really makes color pop! I love this film! Also I noticed some say it doesn't work well for portraits but I've had huge luck with it. It's a go for almost any situation. I really wish Kodak had a 400 speed version.
I own an older version of this lens or actually its newer but I bought it a long time ago. It’s the same lens without the aperture ring. The G lens version. Unfortunately the digital connectors that talk to the camera stopped working. I’m also not able to use the G version manually on my film cameras since it doesn’t have an aperture ring.
I stumbled upon this lens. Looks almost identical but it has the aperture ring! I can use it on my older film cameras too! With the added benefit that if the digital connectors crap out I can use it manually; It has the aperture ring.
So far this lens is pretty nice. I’m happy with it. I used it to photograph the lunar eclipse and despite the weather being bad and getting some blurry photos, It was a pleasure to use. The lens is sharp and has nice colors.

It's made in Japan and I got it for $100 so I’m very happy with this lens.
I recently got a new to me lens from ebay for 100 bucks that works on my film camera. I thought it would be fun to photograph the lunar eclipse on film, Unfortunately it was a cloudy night and most of the photos are blurry. The main picture looks cool but it’s from Friday, two days before.
The best part about film is that its great at capturing memories, not necessarily documenting events. I did enjoy the eclipse since shooting film keeps me in the moment.
