Thanks for your advice, Pete.

Thanks for your reply,Ian. The seller gave me a refund and have now another on its way. Hopefully that will be OK :).

does anyone know if the fungus, which is on the shutter will effect my images. I doesn't appear to be on the glass. I could test it but for what the film cost, I'd rather ask first.

That's some photography journey. I have ordered another Spotmatic the other day and hopefully the meter will work as it should. I can get by with the one I have but its nice to have a meter working. My first ever camera was a Polaroid, the ones which eject the film. I have always loved the...

Thanks Ian. I'll look for a copy. The meter is really bad. I think it needs a service and put right.

I'll probably give it another go. I take it you are a big fan of the RF, Ian.

Thanks Julian. I am going to have a go next week with the roll of film i have loaded. I am going to use a GX8R ring flash as well wth the mark shots. I am also going to use the GX8R on some close up portraits to see what look i can get with a low powered flash. It will be interesting to...

Sorry for the late reply. Many thanks for all the tips, links and your time :) I have shot a roll on it and had a few keepers but if i'm honest, its not for me. I just can't seem to get used to shooting with a rangefinder. If i don't use it again at least i own a piece of history :)

It's not what I was expecting from the title. A good cheerful image.

I am going to have a go at macro photography and I have never done it before. If I use extension tubes will I lose light and if so what's the best way to adjust the exposure. I am going to be using a Pentax Spotmatic and the meter isn't that reliable. If I was to use my canon G15 in macro mode...

It's a cracker. Nicely exposed.

I'm liking this.

I think it looks just fine. Adds more to the contrast. Nice image.

Cheers Dave. That's the one :). I'll see what look I can get with different setting and also try and get some expired 160.

Just had a look at some sample images of the AgfaPhoto Vista Plus 200. It's not the look I am after but will be good for general use especially for a £1. I can't really explain the look I want except a washy look if that makes sense and it will be for portrait work, some with lighting.
