Bear in mind that it's still very possible to buy black and white film and home develop it, you don't even need a darkroom if you have one of the Agfa Rondinax developing tanks (like mine) and a film scanner.

There's 3 BIG Canon FD lenses on ebay right now. ?
I haven't really been able to get on with the ME Super, not sure why.........

Is "one example from each of the main four" a valid excuse for me being intrigued by Canon T-80s and their oddball AF lenses?
I like cameras because they're fun, and it's fun to muck about with odd things....... I like taking a chance on really cheap things as well.
I'll have a look out for another body as it would be a shame not to use the collection of lenses for it........ Or any other OM series as they should fit.......

Price paid. £10. Couldn't say no to that........
Got back home and I think the body is dead, tried batteries from my ME Super which I know work without any joy. Probably not worth getting repaired really as electronics have gone somewhere and I wouldn't have the first clue where to start and would be expensive no doubt.
The lenses are all in top condition though, so wondering about getting a replacement body so at least I can use them....... This would also be my only flash equipped camera!
Not Pentax I know! But am trying to have at least one example from the main 4 manufacturers.............

The "project" is involving my Spotmatic F's and only the 55mm lenses for added difficulty factor! One set shot with Kodak BW400CN and the other with Fuji Reala 100.
It just so happens to be a reasonably bright day..........
(Did something similar with a test film for my ME Super. However none of them really came out as I'd hoped, not convinced about the camera as I can't physically see the LED's in any kind of light!!!!!)

Stop down metering only, but hopefully this will give some good B+W images.
The two Spotties.......

I'm not brave enough to do anything like that to either of mine though!!

I nearly bid on a Spotty today until I noticed two things - missing triangular strap lugs and the blurb "In good cosmetic condition"!
Still keeping eyes open for a tidy, working example with or without lens for around £20. I have a near mint Super Tak 35mm f3.5, ever ready case, and original leather strap to suit one but lack the camera body to tie all of those together.
What is the volume of a standard lens anyway?
