Many thanks, Peter.

@Peter Roberts we love getting out onto the Cut when we can. It should be a little cooler this time. Went in July/August time last year and it was roasting.

Both cameras very nice, gents. I have the slightly basic Vito C with the f2.8 Skopar. A beautifully made camera that still works well. Mm, that g.a.s thingy is both a blessing and a curse lol.

Funnily enough, I've just been reading those, too🤓

Likewise. I only came across tge site the other day while looking for something else.

I've just come a ross this article. It may be of interest. I never knew saliva could be so useful... https://japb.net/gear/general-articles-on-gear/lensdefects2-fungus/

A little write-up, with a few more pics, for anyone interested🙂. https://ralphyturner.substack.com/p/testing-testing

If you'll excuse the seemingly conflicting pun, I reckon autumn's colours are an evergreen in terms of a very pleasing image to look at. Lovely stuff.

I've also got orange and and pale blue filters to play with if the subject and opportunity present themselves while we're away on our hols soon. I'll be taking mostly slower film with me (various varieties) on our jaunt on the canals. Whether I'll get much time in between navigating, then all...

Many thanks, Pete.

Taken using a yellow filter on Kentmere 400. The only adjustments made were w/b points and a very subtle contrast lift. I think the EM will be ok to take on my hols 🙂

Well, it seems the frame spacing is ok after all, so long as I advance the film slowly and gently, giving the little toothed drive wheel time to grip the film's backing paper properly without skidding. One thing I have noticed is that I hadn't before for some reason is that the viewing lens...

I've only shot two or three in-date rolls of it (lab processed, then home scanned/edited) so my experience with it isn't extensive, but from what I've seen of it, I reckon it's very similar. Here's an example I shot some years back. My son uses it (lab processed and scanned) and the results he...

There's nothing like a drop of Ultramax 400 to bring out those warmer hues. Lovely stuff.
