Yup, If I'd tried developing in the beer I'd have got something..

...the images might have been out of focus but that's beer for you!

Pointless!

Tested a strip of heavenknowshowold film and developer yesterday..

The developing fluid has now been disposed of as it wasn't working, and the strip of totally blank film is in the bin.

New developing fluids orderd and re-useable film cartridges NOT filled, I still don't know if the film is OK.

So, sorrows drowned last night with a bottle or two of Saltaire Brewery's finest.

The can was a recent one and hadn't had chance to be opened..

...I guess it just wanted to be empty!

Has Mrs spider banished you to the garage then?

Still waiting for the jab..

..and BB dates are just a estimate where I'm concerned, although once over 5 years OOD I am a little wary.

As for exploding things, it got too hot in the conservatory one day last summer and a random can of stout exploded!

A waste of beer and the cupboard still smells of it...

I love the M 50mm 1.7, but dont ever remember them selling for more than around 50 pounds
Which was a lot of money 15 years back, when they're half that now...

The standard lens for the MZ-5 was the silver FAJ 28-80, there's sevaral similar as well as the Fa 28-82 on ebay at the moment for reasonable prices.

And no I' not selling any...

I've spent the last few days sorting cupboards out...

I didn't know just how much stuff I've aquired over the years!

Looks like a bit of time's going to be spent on Ebay selling.

M50m 1:1.7 lenses were gold dust 10 years ago..

...now they're only worth a fraction of the cost back then.

Just saying.

Listening to local radio and it seems west, West Yokshire is having a bad day with the rivers rising fast.

Good points folks, I hadn't thought about the container side..

Just about to refuse a £10 offer on a £50 item I'm selling.

I have a sump guard for a BMW motorcycle on watch, the pre Xmas price average was £51, now it's £65.

A pair of rear footrest adaptors have gone from £25 to £33.

As well as the above, prices that are usualy low at this time of year are higher than they were last summer, 35mm bulk film comes to mind.

It might be the items I'm watching come from China that's the problem, but aren't they supposed to be cheaper now we're a 'free trade country'?
