So, I'm beside myself in anticipation... is it true... is adrenalin brown?

I was flicking through the British Journal of Photography Annual 1971 last night and came across this:

I've completed the dished lens holder, so I can now get infinity focus. Optical quality was disappointingly good, so I removed the built-in fixed aperture (probably about f11 or f16, so now use the lens 'wide open'. The lens flare is magical, I think!

OH MY GOD

That's my worst nightmare. Unfortunately I experienced it about five years ago and lost a ton of stuff. I now have two externals, one next to the computer, and one attached to the network and residing in a cupboard out in the garage. I use both daily!

Really feeling your pain

Moral of the story: keep all your pictures in at least two places

Initial trial on the bellows. I need to make a dished lens holder as it's too far forward (this is from a 127 Hawkeye so short lens to film distance). However, for a single meniscus, resolution is surprising!

I'm glad David asked this question, it's really got me thinking. I'm a bit disatified with my battery performance, but I don't want to make my camera even bigger than it already is. I've come up with the idea of an external battery pack with a belt clip. There's an external power socket on the camera, so should be pretty easy.

I'm off to Maplins in the morning

I have similar sentiments about old gear, so I just adapt and re-use as much as I can. Currently I'm adapting a Box Brownie lens to fit the K100D after being inspired by a web page that did something similar.

Ok, that's an extreme example
