The 35L is a popular prime lens for photojournalism, street photography and weddings. The focal length does not distort as much as other wider offerings. The large aperture is good for dim light, and the low distortion is good for group portraits.

Old Car City is definitely a place of memories where you might find a car a younger you, your dad, or your grandmother once drove.

Many of the cars are mossy or half-buried in pine needles and leaf litter. Some have been lifted into the air by the trees that grew beneath them. Others have roots and branches erupting out of engine compartments, trunks, and radiator grills.

Ektar started as a color 35mm semi-professional film introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1989, which used the common C-41 process. Poor market segmentation between various formats influenced Kodak's decision to discontinue Ektar in 1994. The film was replaced by the Royal Gold line. Prior to its use on films, the Ektar name originally referred to Eastman Kodak's premium-priced lenses for professional use, introduced in 1936 and sold until the 1960s. The name Ektar is an acronym for Eastman Kodak TessAR. A new film was introduced in September 2008 under the name Kodak EKTAR 100, which claims to be the finest-grain color negative film available on the market, featuring high saturation and vivid colors.
