Last week, I mentioned that I did some a/b shooting with the JCH Street Pan, loaded in the Lomo LC-A (32mm) and the Ricoh 35 ZF (40mm), and promised a followup… Before I get into it, remember that the LC-A underexposed everything by a couple of stops for some unknown reason (possibly old batteries) and …

JCH Street Pan review
It’s been a long time coming, but I finally have two rolls of film developed, scanned, and processed. Here are my thoughts.
