Despite the camera's rather antique exposure system, 90% of my pictures turned out just "fine." That was due to the mini-lab where I had sent my film to, which had already compensated for all the exposure errors of my negatives, fooling me into believing what exceptional "skill" that I had even without understanding photography at all.

Shooting Data:
EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro Lens; 1/320 at f/4.5, ISO 100 film.


My first ever 35mm SLR camera, the Canon AE- I Program, purchased back in 1983 with an FD 50mm f/1.8 Standard Lens, was loaded with colour slides film as its first roll of film to see how good that camera's Programmed AE (Automatic Exposure) feature would perform.

The second subsequent roll was a colour print film, used to shoot all the same subject matters as with the first roll of slide film. After both films were processed, the prints from the negative film were excellent while the images from the reversal film had only about 70% per cent of perfectly exposed 35mm slides, the rest were mostly underexposed.
