's trad innit?

The warm tone papers I used were all Agfa from memory. I used to use Hahnemüle mostly and Epson occasionally with injet for exhibition and I can't say I was particularly disappointed, but pure black and white was always difficult so a toning colour had to be added to avoid the strange casts...

That looks like one nice camera Gary.

Compared with my similarly spec'd Nikon it really shines.

For a while now I have been delving into this area of camera design and have tried several examples. The gradual progress to full automation beginning with the first box camera "..we do the rest" claim has brought me to the Olympus IS-5000. Apart from image stabilisation, this one seems to have...

Looks a nice one Gary. If it is any encouragement, this was taken on an Automat with 3.5 Tessar. Yours should do much better.

Always a relief when the first results are so positive :)
