Will give that a watch tomorrow, thanks!

Stunning set. I also think the second is my choice.

My apologies for the misunderstanding!
Hopefully you find a suitable fix. That Chinon sounds like a great option for someone looking for a film camera.

Stunning. Cracking work.

I’d say yes, but be judicious in your application. Use a cotton bud and remove most of the “bud”, so there’s little cotton. When you apply the isopropanol (I’d say it’d work better initially at removing gummy bits), Dan lightly on a paper towel before working lightly.
Might leave a chalky/powdery residue after full cleaning so wipe down, again carefully, with naphtha and you should have a clean mirror again!

Gravy bones galore! He’s earned it!
Beautiful picture, lens looks a stunner.

Someone is in for a treat! I've taken mine out this month for the 'other forums' Single-in challenge and I'm loving it so much already, two days in.
Wide-open.



f/2.8.



f/4.

They're not the cheapest treat actually, but don't knock them until you try them!

Times ARE hard, I can't stop spending on lenses!

To be fair to him, gravy bones don't taste half bad...

Well fortunately SWMBO bought a box of pegs not too long ago and we ended up with too many! I'll nab a few, she will not notice, I'm sure!

Sure, I mean I'm considering what's required - a scanner would be easiest, I have an SMC-A 50mm f/2.8 which I'm sure would be up to the job with an extension tube, but an enlarger would be the 'better' option from a photographing-negatives standpoint.

I'm sure they did! I'm also sure I'll look to do that when I get around to taking my first load of photos and rewinding said film. Would certainly make things easier for loading a developing tank spool.
