Really like this composition! Is this an early or late zoom? Maker?

MA MarkM photographer Aug 22, 2026

Thanks! This is a Sears zoom. Not sure who was making them at the time. I'd guess it was from the mid-1970 era.

Love the grain. Was that developed in Rodinal?

MA MarkM photographer Aug 22, 2026

I don't know anything about the development. I took it to a local shop and they did it. The grain may just be a result of low-res scanning after development. Not sure. Just learning (re-learning) to shoot film. I've never done any developing myself but I bought a pile of stuff and I'm going to try it soon!

@MarkM Fair enough. Let me know if you run into issues developing. I'm no expert, but I've been getting by with a small makeshift darkroom.
