1957 to 1961 — top of the line Kodak Pony 35mm camera. 1/30-1/250 shutter speed, 44mm f3.5-f22 manual focus lens.
Used Film Photography Project Sonic 25 35mm B&W film (25 ISO, 24 exposure, expired 11/23 but kept in the fridge) — this film is described as:
This is an high contrast, fine grained Orthochromatic motion picture film for shooting in daylight or with daylight balanced lights.
This unique, high contrast, extremely fine-grained blue sensitive film was manufactured for optical sound recording but will produce stunningly fine-grain images when using for pictoral images in your still camera. Expect high contrast and a slight glow and because it is an ortho film and not all tones will record the same as a normal panchromatic film.
Used Sunny 16 rule and Reflx Labs shoe-mount mini light meter. Focus guessing worked pretty well except for closer subjects. Very unique look — but the camera worked well. Here are some samples:
