Eat with Natura Classica

Now I can shoot food close up with Natura Classica. I can even nearer. The minimum focus distance for Natura is 0.4m, so the distance is nearer than LC-A+, which is 0.8m. Plus that, LC-A+ is 32mm lens, Natura is 28-56mm. So that means, Natura can get focus closer and zoom in closer.

Wow, my food is coming!!

Another shot from Natura

Fuji Natura Classica, Lomography ISO 800

Let's check with indoor shot. As usual, this is Lomo 800 film, and NP mode on.

I have to say the Natura has did it's job nicely. Picture is sharp, exposure is nice, saturation is just balance.

I started to fall in love with Natura. Really, I think Natura will be another top camera in my list. Fast focus, accurate focus, closer focus distance, anything about focus, it is hardly to argue about with it's performance. I don't want to have blur picture for priceless moment, the moment that maybe won't be happened again.

Next roll will be Xpro 100. I want to test how the Natura handle ISO 100 film, and how will the cross processed look like. Stay tune.

Shot from Natura Classica

Finally I got the pictures back from lab. I use lab-scanned this time. Just want to view it quickly, if not, maybe will take long long time.

Fuji Natura Classica, Lomography ISO 800, lab-scanned

Loaded with Lomography Color Negative ISO 800, for sure, I used this because I want to test about the NP (Natural Photo) mode. Only ISO 800 or above can turn on the NP mode.

The situation in the photo, is dull day, no sunshine, cloudy, and dull dull day. NP mode switched on.

Color is great, I love this kind of color. For sure, ISO 800 film won't give you saturated color, it only gives you soft color, which very nice for portrait.

Fuji Natura Classica's focus is sharp, I just can't believe how fast and how accurate the Natura Classica can do. Look at the middle, half press, focused, re-position, full press, snapped. Just as simple as it. Will do more review later.

DX Coded Film

Fuji Natura Classica only accept DX Coded film. What is DX Coded? I don't really know before this, because LC-A+ and Horizon Perfekt don't care about it. Finally I know what is DX coded film.

This is how you read the code. You can see the silver and black at the film cartridge. So, it tells the camera what ISO is it, and how many frames does the film has.

Fuji Natura Classica only switch on NP mode (natural photo) for ISO 800 and 1600. So, maybe can use ISO 400 film, and change the black area on the film cartridge, to cheat the camera that it is ISO1600 film. Then tell the lab to push the film for 2 stops. I think it is possible.

Why do so? Because ISO1600 is so expensive!!! which will cost RM35 per roll. I will test about it.

I got it. My Natura.

I spent my piggies.

Total of 120 piggies points. 

I spent it on Fuji Natura Classica. 

A camera that I admired for so long.

I got it, finally.

Inserted the first roll of film,

Lomo 800,

which is the minimal film speed to switch on NP mode.

NP stand for natural photo,

means no flash in night,

but still can get very clear picture.

Testing the camera.

Still testing.
