I love the shots, they have a great "feel" to them. The picture of the old man is worth a thousand words at least, it almost tells a story.

Is it just me, or does film render colour very differently to digital?
Film will always have a different colour appearance.

A great set! I particularly like the last one, even with the shadowed face and tilted horizon it's a fantastic image.
I was sat in the front of the boat when the shot was taken. Quite a few of the shots were taken from this position. I used eight to ten rolls of film that afternoon.

I cropped in from the full image Gareth. Didn't want to spend the time to remove. Limited room for manoeuvre with the camera (he says, trying to remember)hence a lot of stuff shot as was.

Not due back there for a while so similar will have to wait.

Taken with the lens on my K7.

This portrait lens had a lot of use many years ago as a wedding lens.

This memorial is just inside the perimeter fence of a Petrochem Complex located half way between Basrah and Safwan (border with Kuwait).

I knew some of these people and it was a terrible loss to their families and friends.

Two years later and the war with Iran was well under way. Safe place to be as everyone in Iraq was against Iran rather than each other.

No B&W conversions yet Gareth. Only just started to sort through the volumes of prints.

Some scans from prints that were taken with a Pentax ME. Based in Basrah, I was allowed to visit local places of interest.

The marsh arabs were very friendly people who always made visitors welcome.

They all say that
If it's the same as the 10-20 I don't think it will cut it
It does seem to be an issue to get a distortion free ultra wide for APS sizes. We had the SMC 15mm K series for FF yet we still await an alternative for the current range of bodies.
