An Ancient 'British Tradition' is to grant the 'Freedom of the Borough ( or City)' and Brentwood Borough Council voted to grant the Freedom to 124 Squadron Royal Logistics Corps based in Warley . The Mayor read out the Scroll from the saluting base in the High Street ( and it RAINED !! ). The Parade was led by the Band of the Irish Guards . The Standards were carried by the Brentwood Branch, Royal British Legion. I got my K10D and a Video camera all WET but it was worth it to support the lads of the British Army ( BEST in the WORLD ! )

I also did a YouTube VIDEO showing how to work this Ring Flash -- you can see it here :

YES -- Results are in the Your Photos section -- I just put them on .

Here is my 2007 bought K10D + Elicar Ring Flash + 1970's SMC Macro-Takumar 50mm f4

I used my K10D + 1970's SMC Macro-Takumar 50mm f4 and my Elicar Ring Flash to see what effect I got -- their glasses come ON at night !!

Oh Dear !! I was given an MZ-5 -- the flash holder spring was already broken so I have to hold it up with my 'Little Pinky' if using it for fill-in -- now worried about that 'gear' you mentioned --

I did my own Light Seal repairs with sheet of foam costing 80 pence from 'Hobby Crafts' shop in Romford, Essex and cut very narrow strips for seals along film plane with a rotary trimmer I bought for £ 1 in my Camera Club auction -- then I needed some Lighter Fuel price £ 1 from Poundland Shop, Brentwood, a home-made 'straight edge' and couple of sharp blades so I could cut the mirror foam strip -- guessed the length and I have done all my Old Cameras with that kit !

Thanks -- I might do a 16x12" darkroom print and we will see what a Judge says at my Club !!

out with my 6x7 Mk I loaded with some 02/2007 Ilford XP2 Super I want tojuse up -- I like the Juxtaposition of the tree with the Electricity Pylon. I held a RED filter over the 135mm f4 SMC Pentax Macro 67 lens. Neg was thin but scanned well.

I think it is just a 'Hologram '-- you can't tell me it actually exists !
