I am intrigued....what was behind the window ?

This was not lost on me either. i assume it is targetted at the ephotozine sites in general.

oops sorry..... i will disappear.

Thats why I have diplomatically stayed silent on the question

Well actually the later models (like my Z1)did. The film would have a code on the side of the canister, and the camera had some connectors that would read it. You could manually override if you wanted to push/pull the film.

MX gets my vote, together with a M 50mm 1.7 Then you are really in control. Manual focus;manual shutter speed;manual aperture;manual ISO; manual film advance.

There is a light meter so you are not entirely on your own.

Hello Jason and welcome.

I have started this post for anyone wishing to post comments on the photos entered for the fortnightly competition # 9 "Doors".

The theme for this competition is Doors.

The usual rules apply: photo must have exif intact and be taken between now and 18.00 London time on Wednesday 18 February 2009, when the competition closes.

Maximum size is 800 pixels on the longest side.

So lets see a door, or doors, of all shapes , colours, and sizes.

Thank you for excellent (and quick !) judging, and I am honoured that you thought my effort worthy of first place. The picture is of the rockery at the bottom of my garden, and I was fascinated with the shapes the snow had created. It reminded me of the scene from "Aliens" !

I had to take a number of shots before I got the exposure right, and even then had to use the gamma slider in Silkypix carefully to bring out enough detail without producing a grey mush.

Well done to all entrants especially mikew and rob which were my favourites.

I will post a new theme shortly.

Peter
