Thaniks, an interesting read. Half a stop per 10 years seems to be the best guess. And bracket if it's an important shot. Just got to find something interesting to photograph that isn't the grandchildren.

I've decided to run a roll of B&W film through the *ist just for fun.

As expected, there was an in-date roll where I keep odds and ends. What I didn't expect to see was an out of date roll of Ilford HP5 Plus 400 sitting next to it. The date on the box is July 2014, it's been kept at room temperature (not in the sun!). I'm willing to give it a go, but is there any need to modify exposure for it being over 7 years out of date? It will have to be processed commercially, so anything that needs to be done during processing must be available (and at a reasonable price, please :wink.

Steve

Thanks. My ad-blocker must be removing the ads but not the box.

Oh, come on... it was your honeymoon, the last thing that should have been on your mind at the time is photos!!

Nice snaps from 2021, though.

Steve

Any pictures of the aperture spring so we can see what you mean?

And who's to say that Canon or other brands don't use the same sort of thing in some of their lenses...?

Wishing you luck with whatever kit you get next.

Don't know it it's related, but I've recently started to get a semi-transparent box across the bottom of the screen when I'm on PU. There's an X in the top RH corner of the box, click on it and the box goes away. Browser is Firefox.

No password problems though.

No 3 and 4 for me please. 6 comes close but left and right edges aren't quite symmetrical - needs a bit more on the right.

Steve

Very good. The banana reminds me of a swan ... it took a couple of looks, but now I've seen it I can't unsee it.

There are plenty of fish in the sea and they aren't all in this little inlet.

Have fun, whatever you do.

Steve

I thought you were a reformed character. Clearly not!

An interesting lens, though, that I imagine invites you to think before pressing the shutter button. The shafts of light in the first 4 pictures are spot on for the subject matter.
