Great pics which are also very good from the technical
side, with the use of limited DOF etc.

The QC is already butter a lot of
stuff slips through that shouldn't

Sold to Pentaxophile the remaining 1.35x

Slightly bigger magnification and the eyecup shields the stray
light from entering your eye better. The Pentax one seems to
vignette the screen in the top right hand corner when I use
it. Probably more secure because you actually clamp it on
with two screws.

Any magnifying eyecup is an enormous improvement for things
like manual focusing.

That was quick considering that last Monday was a
Bank Holiday here. KPS stuff is top quality they
do some really nice but expensive ball & socket
heads.

One still available plus the plain glass/prescription
version if anyone wants one from the UK rather than
Korea.

Vericolor wasn't just for wedding photographers... being Kodaks only C-41 Pro film (Extacolor old C-22 process was discontinued in 1975) it was for all Pro work including portraiture and commercial work where the shutter speed was 1/10 sec. or shorter. I'm quite sure it was available in all formats inc. sheet films. The film number was VPS120 etc.

There was also a tungsten version (VPL)rated at 80ASA which could be used in daylight at 50ASA with an 85B filter. This could be used at speeds between 1/50th and 60 secs. This was never released, as far as I can remember in 35mm just VPL120 and sheet.

Being a Pro film it was supposed to be refrigerated before and after use and not left in the camera.

True colours are actually very dull and boring

Kodak used to make a Professional Colour Film called
Vericolor that had very true colours, most amateurs that
used it were unhappy with the colours and went back to
Kodacolor that had enhanced reds and greens

So all this talk about calibrating this that and the other
is only going to lead to dull and boring prints.
