I have some, used one roll, but yet to get it developed.

one thing.... the numbers on the paper are much better than Ektar! you can actually see the ones on Gold easily.

hmmm... I do need a 28mm lens and my MX is acting up, so a replacement is on the cards.

I had a P30 a few years back... it is a great little camera, but i prefered the "older" ones. The P30 is neither fully electronic, or manual and i found that a bit annoying, so i tended to use the MEs, MX, K1000 etc.

It is a great camera to play with though, i got some good shots with mine.

Analogue Films in Hanbury Street, London is my usual place for colour - mainly as i worked nearby (when i went into an office). Very good and cheap, do 35mm, 120, E6 too and they have some films for sale at good prices. friendly staff too. They do postal too.

i do B&W at home as it is cheaper. Tried some C41 at home - a Sous Vide cooker is a great help in this, but still use AF for a lot of colour (especially holiday stuff) as they do a very good job and are speedy.

This arrived today. Think it may be brand new

oh VERY nice!
I had a P30 (actually, had a few as 2 turned up in a box of pentax film cameras from ebay). It's a nice little camera and very good to use. it felt a bit "modern" for me, but not too automated.

Someone asked me for a bit of film camera advice and i ended up on ebay as a result - just to check my recommendation.
Somehow - really have no idea how this happened... i now have a Voigtlander Vitomatic II. This cost £9.99 and also came with two working light meters and a Kodak instamatic (which seems to be broken, even if i could get film for it).
And... a lovely, fully working FED 3a
Then there was the Voigtlander Vitessa, which was so beautiful i had to buy it and is going to cost more to get fixed (sticky shutter) than it cost to buy!

Need more film now!

i shot mine with the MX. apart from the novelty of having "positive" negatives, the film isn't my cup of tea - doing mainly nature type photos. it's a bit too grey, not really any great contrast.

It was interesting to shoot at such a low ISO, but also a bit of a pain.

hope you managed to get some decent shots from your roll.
