Some film.

Brilliant

Just quickly checked tinternet, some roughness and assumptions , yours will vary.
Film 10 rolls 36 ex per year for easy calc. Each £9
Processing £6.50 each plus say £2.50 pp
Gets you negatives only from Hippo Lab
£18 x 10
Say 10 years =£1800
Plus your time scanning/copying to digital.
Makes you think 🤔


Done.

This interesting thread has my thoughts drifting towards (that old chestnut, pardon the pun) of the great vintage lenses available, light in weight being the obvious advantage. Not to mention the HD upgrade/ modifications to the fa limiteds.

Nice shots and a very brave one of the Magpie, as it has always been a difficult bird to snap IMHO.
4, 5 and 6 my favourite ones.

4. In colour. Incidently there used to be a sign for many years on the exterior of this Pub stating
"the home of the slippery nipple", I have not seen the sign this year and I have no further info either.

Excellent stuff, love the final pictures, processing much or SOOC,? but love them.
1, 2, 3 and the final photo are my favourites.

I was looking at a Ricoh GR4 but reading Lenny's thread here has put me off, well a bit. Fortunately I haven't suffered too much lugging the K1 about even with a couple of lenses, but I agree with others here that is to choose carefully what lens(s) to take, unless in the car of course. But yes as the aging process catches up you have to listen to your aches and pains, so excercise and try to keep as fit as you can.
My current thoughts are to keep my 'heavy' gear and definitely not go mirrorless (and avoid sensor spots/dust).
