I'm amazed that you can get such quality photographs from film that is even older than I am, Peter. Well done you!

Alchemist, wizard - something like that. The quality of the church image and its porch are astounding.

Thanks Folks ! Yes -- I was amazed at the Sharpness of the SMC Takumar 28mm f3.5 at FULL APERTURE on the Brentwood Catholic Cathedral shot -- good job I managed to jam my arm against the railings to hold it still for 1/15th Second. That was part of the Asahi Pentax Spotmatic-F set I was given by a Kind Gent in Ilford some years ago-- he has died now but before he went I went back with the Camera and took some nice portraits of him and his wife in their little house and garden so their Children could have some memories of them .

I'm guessing this is the photographical equivalent of turning lead into gold, then?
In all seriousness, beautiful pictures all round. These are the types of pictures which tempt me into getting a film camera!

A generous offer, thank you! I'll need to spend probably far too long exhaustively deciding on which camera is right for me, first...

Buy an MX and a M50/1.7 and get snapping. No great debate required! K.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
