Definitely not. Only yesterday I was thinking it was about time to visit this thread again. But bindweed got in the way. Too much of it, a totally pointless weed that takes far too much time to keep under control. I'd rather be eating pizza...

Yep! keeping bindweed under control is a binding task alright but on the upside, it's not fattening like eating pizza and that's a much tougher tangle to keep under control...

Very artsy. Different, but that's okay. Art is subjective and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

As for the 20mm, Cosina made some fine very lenses and this 20mm isn't as bad as some reviewers would suggest. I find many of the disparagers tend to be - let's say - a tad pompous (just my view) and look down on some of these lower priced but otherwise fine lenses. It's good to experiment and make your own mind up. The best 20mm lens after all is the one you own - not the one you might lust after!

A super lens and a good buy for Jon but I can't help thinking its parting will be a future regret for you Gareth. Just sayin... hope I'm wrong!

Best wishes.

I was a Kodachrome slide film user.

Also what about Ilford black and white film?
I too loved Kodachrome, both 64 and 25, even Ektachrome, though not so much the latter as I wasn't so keen on its rendition of colour. Interestingly, Ektachrome 100 is available once more and there is also Kodak Ektar, a colour negative film, less pricey but like film in general it is very, VERY expensive.

Ilford too have released a new film 'Phoenix 200' which has attracted quite a bit of attention. But to give a definitive answer to George's question is difficult because I'm largely out of touch with film these days and suspect there to be very few ardent film users on this forum either (correct me if I'm wrong). There are however, a number of Youtubers who appear to be dedicated to film who might be worth checking out, I'll provide a couple of links below to two of my favourites. Generally speaking though, as with all photographic ventures, some research and experimentation is required.

Enjoy your new to you K1 and your future film endeavours.
