I found this 10x8" print on my files -- taken many years ago in the 1960's at a practical session at Barking Photographic Society, Tungsten lighting. I used my 1960's Asahi PENTAX S3 with a 105mm Takumar lens and tried the combination of KODAK Tri-X developed in the Original 'PROMICROL' diluted 1+1 for 15 mins as recommended by the late Ron Spillman.

I really like that Peter. I have an S3 in my collection which, no doubt, will eventually be brought into operation.

Paul : I no longer have the S3 -- I sold it to a Camera Club member many years ago but I have an SV now and have just had a go at Lubricating it in the base -- take off the small screws carefully in a developing dish in case you drop them and lift off the base plate then you can see the cogs and levers how they move - I touched a thin piece of fuse wire into ONE DROP of Three-in-One Oil in the dish and carefully touched it onto the cogs and levers and it winds on very smoothly now ! Did the same with my 1960's Spotmatic and 1970's KX .
Been a member of Pentax Club since the Ron Spillman era! Got COMPUTERISED at last - DIGITISED?
Taken the PLUNGE - BUT FILM STILL RULES !!!
