NONS SL42 II + Yashica Lens ML 35mm f2.8 Test Shots 曝光測試

2023.09.09

This time, I tested the shutter of the NONS SL42 II camera using the Yashica Lens ML 35mm f2.8. The lens has a minimum aperture of f16, and if it could reach f22, it would be more suitable for Fujifilm Instax ISO 800 film. The NONS SL42 II is equipped with a 1.8x multiplier lens on top of the Yashica lens, so the film's ISO value will be approximately 800/1.8/1.8=247, close to 250 (based on past experience, I prefer to slightly overexpose Instax film, so I set the light meter to ISO 200). Under sunny conditions, the optimal combination would be f16 and 1/250. Since 1/250 is the maximum shutter speed of the NONS SL42 II, it's challenging to choose a larger aperture like f5.6 or f8 to capture a well-focused subject with a blurred background in bright sunlight.

這次來測試NONS SL42 II相機的快門,使用的鏡頭是Yashica Lens ML 35mm f2.8,最小光圈是f16,如果可達f22將更適合Fujifilm Instax ISO 800的底片。由於NONS SL42 II還會再裝上一個1.8倍鏡,再接上Yashica鏡頭,所以底片的 ISO值將會相當於 800/1.8/1.8=247 接近 250 (依過去使用經驗,我習慣讓Instax底片多曝光一點,所以測光表我設訂成ISO 200)。如過在拍照的Sunny rule下,會是f16和1/250的組合,1/250已經是NONS SL42 II這相機的最高速快門了,所以想要選擇較大光圈如f5.6、f8來拍點主體清楚且背景模糊的相片,在大太陽底下幾乎不可能。

The first set of test shots was taken under a tree shade, creating a somewhat overcast feeling, approximately 3 stops lower than f16, resulting in the combination of f5.6 and 1/250. Under the same EV value, subsequent photos were taken with the combinations of f8 and 1/125, f11 and 1/60, and f16 and 1/30, respectively. Upon closer inspection, except for the fourth photo, the central area of the other photos shows slight overexposure, suggesting that the shutter speed scaling in the center might be slower. The fourth photo itself is clearly underexposed, and my guess is that the lens might have over-closed at f16, requiring a compensation of 0.5-1 stop.

第一組測試點是在樹蔭下,大概是陰天的感覺,比f16低3級,也就是f5.6與1/250的組合,再相同EV值下依序拍得f8與1/125、f11與1/60、f16與1/30組合的相片。仔細看除了第4張相片,其他相片的中央,都有些許過度曝光,推測這快門的縮放在中央的速度可能較慢。而第4張相片本身也很明顯曝光不足,我的推測是鏡頭在f16光圈可能縮過頭了,可能要補償0.5-1級才行。

First Set - No ND4 Neutral Density Filter 
第一組 無ND4減光鏡

#1. f5.6 1/250

#2. f8 1/125

#3. f11 1/60

#4. f16 1/30


The second set of test shots captured the exterior of a building with reflective beige tiles. The metering result should have been adjusted by an additional 1 stop of exposure, but I overlooked this while focusing on the installation of the ND4 neutral density filter. The light meter's ISO value needed to be adjusted to 50 when using the ND4 filter. It can be observed that, under slight underexposure conditions, only the central point (windows) of the fifth photo shows a slight white overexposure. Similarly, the eighth photo with f16 shows underexposure.

第二組測試點拍攝的建築物外觀是會「反光」的土黃色磁磚,測光的結果應該要再加1級曝光,但拍攝當下我忽略了,只專注於鏡頭加裝ND4減光濾鏡後須將測光表的ISO值調整為50。可以觀察到,再曝光較為不足的情況下,只有第5張相片的中心點(窗戶處)有些許泛白的過曝。同樣的第8張f16曝光不足。

Second Set - No ND4 Neutral Density Filter
第二組 無ND4減光鏡

#5. f5.6 1/250

#6. f8 1/125

#7. f11 1/60

#8. f16 1/30


The third set of test shots was taken under a tree shade, capturing backlit leaves. Due to a large area of overexposed sky in the frame, the overexposure in the central area of the photo becomes apparent, especially when the overexposed sky area is larger (as seen in the tenth photo), resulting in overexposure above the tree shade.

第三組測試點是在樹蔭下拍攝背光的樹葉,由於畫面中有較大面積的過度曝光天空,相片中央的過度曝光區域變得很明顯,當過度曝光天空面積更大時(如第10張相片),樹蔭上方也出現過度曝光的現象。

Third Set - No ND4 Neutral Density Filter
第三組 無ND4減光鏡

#9. f5.6 1/60

#10. f8 1/30


Based on the above tests, it is speculated that when there is a large area of overexposure in the photo, it leads to overexposure in the central area and even other sections of the image. This issue persists even at slow shutter speeds of 1/30 and 1/60.

經過以上測試,推測當相片畫面中有較大面積的過度曝光區域時,就會造成畫面中心,甚至其他區塊的過曝,即使是在慢速快門1/30、1/60下仍是無法避免。

NONS SL42 II + Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f1.4 @ NTU 台灣大學

2022.11.3

Went for a stroll at National Taiwan University and tested the NONS SL42 II + Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f1.4 combo. Noticed significant vignetting at the image periphery, similar to what I observed in the previous test with the Carl Zeiss Distagon 35mm f1.4. I speculate that this vignetting is caused by the 1.8X (NFE) lens attachment on the NONS SL42 II (the diameter of the 50mm f1.4 rear lens element is larger than that of the 1.8X lens). Based on my experience, using the Asahi Optical SMC Pentax 35mm f3.5 minimizes vignetting because the diameter of the rear lens element in the 35mm f3.5 is smaller than that of the 1.8X lens.

台灣大學散步,順便進行 NONS SL42 II + Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f1.4 測試,成像週邊有很明顯的暗角,這跟之前測試過的 Carl Zeiss Distagon 35mm f1.4 差不多。我研判這暗角應該是 NONS SL42 II上裝的1.8X (NFE)鏡造成的 (50mm f1.4後鏡組鏡片的直徑>1.8X鏡的直徑),依使用經驗,如果是使用 Asahi Optical SMC Pentax 35mm f3.5 則暗角不明顯,(35mm f3.5後鏡組鏡片的直徑<1.8X鏡的直徑)。

Furthermore, this camera features a leaf (circular) shutter, but due to its slower opening and closing speed, photos taken at shutter speeds of 1/125-1/250 seconds show overexposure by 0.5-1 stop at the center. To avoid this phenomenon, it is recommended to primarily use shutter speeds below 1/60 second (if necessary, ND filters can be used, as the ISO 800 of Instax film is highly sensitive in daylight).

另外,這個相機採用的是葉片(圓形)快門,但是因為快門開闔的速度還不夠快,導致在1/125-1/250秒快門時所拍攝的相片其中心點的曝光會多0.5-1格,為避免這個現象破壞作品,建議以使用1/60秒以下快門為主 (必要時可搭配ND濾鏡使用,因為ISO800的Instax 拍立得相紙,在白天是外的感光度實在太高了)。






The light sensitivity and latitude of Instax Mini film are significantly lower compared to the iPhone camera. In the comparison, the shadows in the Instax photo are almost entirely black, and the lightly blue sky is overexposed, resulting in a whiteout. Instax film is truly only suitable for shooting subjects with relatively even lighting.

Instax mini 拍立得相紙的感光寬容度和 iPhone 手機的相機比起來,真的差很多,可以看到前者的樹蔭近乎全黑,且淡淡藍天已經過度曝光泛白,Instax 拍立得相紙真得只適合用來拍光源較為平均的主題?





Lastly, here is a photo taken with the test combo NONS SL42 II + NFE + Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f1.4.

Starburst Bokeh with a Soviet Macro Lens: Индустар-61 Л/З 50/2.8 (Industar-61 L/Z 50 2.8) 星芒特殊散景 蘇聯微距鏡

2022.8.21

The Industar-61 L/Z 50/2.8 MC M42 macro lens from the Soviet LZOS factory features an optical structure with a Zeiss Tessar design, consisting of 4 elements in 3 groups. This lens can produce a distinctive six-pointed starburst bokeh between apertures f5.6 to f8. Although Christmas is still four months away, in order to capture the special starburst bokeh, the photographer had to bring out Christmas decorations to serve as the background for Santa Claus.

來自蘇聯LZOS工廠的Industar-61 L/Z 50/2.8 MC M42微距鏡,使用蔡司Tessar 4片3群的光學結構,在光圈5.6~8之間可拍出六芒星的特殊散景。雖然今年聖誕節還要4個月才會來臨,為了拍出星芒特殊散景,也只好把聖誕燈飾找出來當聖誕老公公的背景了。

NONS SL42 + Fujifilm Instax Wide Mini @ Tamsui Shell Warehouse 淡水殼牌倉庫

2022,7,6

A Visit to Tamsui Shell Warehouse

A few days ago, thanks to my mother-in-law's recommendation, I discovered that there is a 'Shell Warehouse' near the Tamsui MRT station. Yes, it's the Shell that sells petroleum! Coincidentally, today my child is participating in soccer training at Tamkang University in Tamsui. After handing my child over to the team coach, I took my NONS SL42 instant camera to the 'Shell Warehouse' to take photos. The entire area is very clean, and the buildings have been well restored (at least to us non-experts).

一訪淡水殼牌倉庫

前幾天經岳母介紹後,我才知道淡水捷運站旁有個「殼牌倉庫」,沒錯,就是那家賣石油的 Shell!剛好今天小孩到淡水真理大學參加足球集訓,把小孩交給球隊教練後,我就帶 NONS SL42 拍立得相機到「殼牌倉庫」拍照,整個園區很乾淨,建築物也修復的不錯 (對我們外行人而言)。





'The designated historical site of the original British firm Jardine Matheson Warehouse (Tamsui Shell Warehouse) has four large warehouses, three small buildings, and the remains of oil tanks, covering an area of nearly 13,200 square meters. It bears witness to important historical moments such as the opening of Tamsui Port, Japan's rule over Taiwan, and the bombing of Taiwan by the U.S. military during World War II. It is one of the few surviving foreign trade warehouses in northern Taiwan and one of the few industrial heritage sites in Taiwan.'

Asahi Pentax Super Takumar 55mm f2


The NONS SL42 Mark II camera was born for this purpose. It has a Canon EOS EF mount adapter suitable for adapting traditional camera lenses. With various adapters available on the market, it can adapt M42, Nikon F, Contax/Yashic, and other types of traditional camera lenses. To solve the problem of the framing ring of 135 camera lenses not fully imaging on Instax Mini photos, the manufacturer provides a 1.8x magnifying glass. It can enlarge the 24mm x 36mm imaging of 135 film to 43.2mm x 64.8mm, approximately equivalent to the imaging size of Instax Mini photos at 46mm x 64mm.


NONS SL42 Mark II相機就是為了這個目的而生,她有個適合轉接傳統相機鏡頭的Canon EOS EF接環,透過市面上的轉接環,可以轉接M42、Nikon F、Contax/Yashic 等各式傳統相機鏡頭。為了解決135相機鏡頭的成項圈無法在Instax Mini相片上全幅成像的問題,原廠提供了一個1.8倍加倍鏡,可以將135底片成像24mm x 36mm 放大成 43.2mm x 64.8mm,約莫等於 Instax Mini 相片的成像 46mm x 64mm。

The usage of NONS SL42 is roughly equivalent to early non-metering SLR cameras operated with stopped-down aperture. After loading the Instax Mini film cartridge and pressing the electric film advance button to dispense the shading plastic sheet, you can start shooting. The camera itself also has a built-in reflective light meter (non-TTL). Simply select the shutter speed (1, 1/2, 1/4, ..., 1/125, 1/250 seconds), and the display window will show the appropriate aperture value.

Next: cock the shutter -> open the aperture for focusing -> select the shutter speed -> choose the aperture according to the recommended value on the light meter -> press the shutter button -> press the electric film advance button -> wait for the photo image to emerge. Once done, the display window will show the remaining number of photos in the camera.

Additionally, it's crucial to note that since the camera's fastest shutter speed is only 1/250 second, and the ISO value of Instax film is 800, it is recommended to use an ND4 or higher neutral density filter when shooting outdoors during the daytime.


NONS SL42 的使用方式,大概就等於早期無測光,並且以縮光圈操作的單眼相機。裝上Instax Mini 相片卡匣,按下電動出片鈕,吐出遮光塑膠片,就可開始拍攝了。相機本身也有內建一個反射式測光表(非TTL),只要選定好快門速度(1、1/2、1/4、、、、1/125、1/250秒),顯示窗會顯示適合的光圈值。

接下來 快門上弦 -> 光圈全開對焦 -> 選定快門速度 -> 依測光表建議值選定光圈 -> 按下快門 -> 按下電動出片鈕 -> 等待相片影像浮出 就完成了,顯示窗會顯示相機內剩餘的相片數量。


另外,很重要的一點,因為相機最快的快門速度只有1/250秒,而Instax底片的ISO值是800,一般戶外白天拍攝時,建議搭配ND4以上的減光鏡使用喔。
