Film has a tendency to have a blue cast especially when shooting under a bright blue sky. UV and Skylight filters would remove the cast which was especially important for slide film where you could not correct the image in the printing stage.

Is this still true? I shoot colour neg (or B&W) in my Pentax 67 without UV filters and have never shot slide so I don’t have any experience. I thought maybe film had improved and this doesn’t happen any more. I also thought my lenses had enough glass to cut out the UV, but on reflection two excuses is always less convincing than one. Does anyone have a comparison?

I changed my mind, I’m going to keep this one for a bit and see if I get more use out of it in the spring.

Bought an ME Super from EBay, film advance/shutter cocking mechanism works intermittently but is clearly broken in some way. The cap over the film advance lever is missing, not sure if someone else has tried to fix it.

Otherwise it seems like a reasonable camera. If anyone wants it for parts I can send it for the price of postage. Pictures available on request.

Items not already sold or with interest expressed will probably go on a well-known auction site this weekend.
