Don't worry -- that is FRESH compared with most of my film! I have been trying some 1987 dated Kodak Vericolor III 220 size in my Pentax 6x7 and by downrating it to 32 ASA instead of 160 ASA it all came out well, and I have some samples on my portfolio scanned and using Vuescan. If the film is 2007 the 100 should be 80 ASA, the 400ASA rate 200ASA and the 800 ASA dated 2005 rate 200ASA as the faster films loose sensitivity much quicker.

Hope this WORKS !! 1987 Kodak Vericolor III rated at 32 ASA home-processed

I can beat those 'Process Only' Prices -- I do B&W for several members of Forums -- £1-50 a roll, 120, 127 or 35mm I do NOT do E6 slide or 'APS','Instamatic' or 110 cartridge films though. Send me a message if interested.

I have developed that Rollei Retro for a client -- I did it in some D76 for 14.5 mins at 20oC-- it came out well. Also, I have some outdated Fuji 1600 -- it is very fine-grained for 1600 film -- if it is FRESH it is probably up to 1600 ASA -- it quickly loses speed as it ages so I rate mine now at 400ASA and have made up some 'Outdated Film Developer' Formula from apug.org invented by a Czech Photographer and it works well but at least needs 25 mins development -- but some people on Flickr are using Rodinal 1+100 for 1 hour 'stand' development !

Were these 'shot from the hip -- ie guessed' ? I tried this here in Brentwood and it is difficult to get it all straight - but at least I didn't get PUNCHED !

I bet your Zenith E outlasts the KX -- I have two Zeniths and use them with screw Pentax lenses.

Well, Folks, I went to the Pixie Lott Concert and took film as well as my K10D but when it started I put K10D onto 1000 ASA and found I could use my 1980's 80-200mm f4.5 SMC Pentax-M lens and the 75-150 f4 SMC Pentax-M for a couple and manually focussed and got some sharp ones in the time allowed-- only allowed photos during the first three songs and Security caom up to throw me out -- I was deafened anyway !! I have put results on my'Gallery' and the pics have beeen sent over the Ether to the Brentwood Gazette newspaper last night ready for them to make up the pages this morning. THEN I did a job early this morning at the Council Depot in the falling Snow with the Mayor, struggled to get hand-holdable shutter speed on 400 ASA in the bad light+ very weak flash, used my Digital 18-55mm Pentax DA lens and found all had 'Back-Focussed' !! The Mayor was OUT, the rear wall of Council Depot was IN ! Need to test K10D now -- and I call it 'my Trusty Pentax' !!

Oh Dear ( No stronger words, as it is a 'Sunday' ) I need to get it sorted today as I have to photograph 'Pixie Lott' in Concert tonight at the Brentwood Centre and my widest aperture lenses are my older ones - I have the kit 18-55mm auto-focus and none of my other lenses are 'digital' . Oh well, back to Good Old FILLUM and a C41 process late at night !

I use my K10D with the screw/bayonet adapter and get some troubles with sharp focus -- I focus back and forth and see the Green Diamond thingy come up but when I look the focus is OUT -- with my 35mm f2 Super-Takumar I notice at f2 that the sharp focus is way BEHIND the thing I focus upon--Friday I went to do a job at the Brentwood centre with my 135mm f2.5 SMC Takumar and had trouble -- the Green Diamond does not agree with the focus. Anyone help ?

I bought the Russian MTO 500mm f8 mirror lens in 1969 for £69 new from 'Brocks cameras'and used it a lot for local newspaper Cricket action with my screw-thread Pentaxes -- it will not go onto my K10D as the pentaprism housing where the built-in flash is fouls the lens,but I use the 'FREE'set of filters which came with it in the wooden box a lot for my Hasselblad and Pentax 6x7 gear!

I bought that lens NEW from David Leung Camera Dealer of Goodmayes,Essex for £69-00 and it was the worst Pentax lens I had -- no 'resolution'until well stopped down to f11 or f16 -- it was reviewed by Ron Spillman -- maybe I had a bad example but I sold it to an unsuspecting friend for £30!
