I may have solved my black ME Super problem...
I've bought another one! This one supposedly works ok but has flickering LEDs. A bit of reading around suggests that this can be cured by cleaning the contacts or replacing the batteries. £24 bundled with a Tokina AT-X 28-85mm zoom which from what I've read sounds like quite a tasty piece of kit in any case. That'll most likely end up on my Super A which is currently undergoing a film test after new seals.

Good one DM, let us know how it goes.
The flickering LEDs in my black ME were a result of dying batteries. Now resealed it's ready for a film test later this week.

I am making a conscious effort not to end up with another roll of black and white photos of the Elan Valley (as I seem to have rather a lot of those...)
Mind you, with views like this you might just understand why:
One of the machinery buildings at the base of Caban Coch dam - Victorian industrial architecture in the Welsh countryside.

I'm not sure Gareth. One of the guys is a paramedic and he took charge. I asked him if he needed help but he already had a couple of people there. I then went down to the gate (we were in a field in the middle of no-where) to direct the ambulance. After it arrived I left.

Nice B&W DM, why not do a study and post a gallery like this one of mine.
You'll note that I use different cameras, film as well as digital, just to get a different feel. All the shots were taken over a 2 week period.

Hmm, I can see myself doing that around town here! Most of the buildings are from between the 1880s and 1920s and a lot still have ornamental ironwork/stonework intact. Will wait for the Tokina lens to turn up as I can combine the project with testing the lens (and the Super A) that way.

I hope you've got a raincoat to go with you - it's not looking too promising in Belgium I'm afraid.
Someone has stolen summer, and I'd quite like them to return it before it is too late to enjoy it.
Have a great time and go easy on the liquid bread .
