That last one is particularly special. Love the subtle reflection.

A rework of an image from 2015. The old vegetable market in Chartres. Taken with my old trusty K10D

Taken in the Norfolk Broads a few years ago.

Cracking squirrel shot.

Any colour or b+w 35mm film will do. You can buy it on Amazon or at a photographic retailers website.

A microfibre soft cloth is your first option for the lens, front and rear. If the cloudiness is internal it could be lens fungus or balsam separation. If it is a serious problem with the latter two then depending on the type of lens it may not be worth repairing. Second hand lenses are plentiful both on the classified section here and ebay.

New batteries and I suggest a dry run with no film to make sure everything is working. Put it in Manual exposure and trip the shutter many times at each available speed. Before you do that I suggest a good clean. Externally any alcohol wipe will do. Internally,..... open the back and give it a good blast with a rocket blower (google "Giottos rocket blower". Same with the front after removing the lens. I suggest not trying to wipe the mirror and certainly not the focussing screen. If these are very dirty you would be best served getting it professionally cleaned.

Best bet is google online film processing. I use these (https://www.harmanlab.com/ ) for b+w film but there are many others. You can order prints as well as a download of scanned images if you wish.

Very artistic and I always like your use of subtle tones.

The second one wins for me.

Very colourful.

Lovely light in these Gareth

Love the first two
