Glad you found one. There may be two versions: FD & FDp the first was for the Z-1, the second for the Z-1p. The difference may only be a slight cut-out at the back so you can get to the panoramic switch on the Z-1p.

I may be wrong, they may only have made the FDp version as the Z-1 may have stopped production by the time the grip arrived.

I'd agree, the price of processing has made experiments like this too expensive (especially colour slide).

I'm sure someone with lots of darkroom experience might suggest a clip test (process only a couple of frames and adapt your development from there) but I'm not sure that would work with a home dev E6 kit?

It still is a 'thing' if shooting film. Red, orange, yellow, blue etc. are commonly used by B&W photographers as these effects can't be reproduced in the darkroom afterwards. At the time, most colour photography used transparency films, many of these gave much better colours with a Skylight filter to warm them up.

Some lenses had (have?) a clip behind the rear element to insert gelatine filters if vignetting would be a problem - of course today's' solution is a £££ dinner plate sized filter system...

I don't generally see dragonflies, this one recently decided to sun itself in my garden. This was taken handheld with my 645D & FA80-160 (cropped in PP), I would have used a tripod had I'd known it would be there for about ten minutes. From what I can gather from the web, it looks like some variety of Common Darter:

I subscribe to BJP and haven't bought AP, PP or anything else for years (they all seem the same). Very surprised that the final PP was so lack lustre, they obviously couldn't be bothered to put any effort into it. Way back there were three or four photo mags, now there are dozens of CaNikon 'how to' ones for those who can't be bothered to read the manual. Forums like this have all but destroyed photo mags, given the current offerings, I'm not really surprised.

I have the Nokton 40/1.4 MC (Multi-coated) as my only lens for my Leica M4 (they do an SC single-coated one for dedicated mono shooters...). I've only used it with mono film but have no complaints. As a lens it feels very similar to the FA43 - compact, smooth and with lots of metal (only just noticed it says 'Made in Japan').
