Really exquisite photographs, the third one has excellent definition and good tonal range in it - very well taken.

It isn't possible to do your own Kodachrome processing, so you must mean that you moved on to an E-6 process film?

Yes, I did not make myself very clear John.

How things have changed in this country, I am not a legal expert by any means, but it use to be that it was for the police/CPS to prove guilt not the accused. They must be more aware than anyone at the level of cloning registration plates that is taking place in this country. If you say on oath, you were is the Lake District camping or whatever then that's where you were, let them prove otherwise.

The K 6.5 has the wobble valve does it not?

What a shame. Kodachrome is the most archivally permanent of the colour films.

Kodak has let the quality of processing slip though, almost ensuring that it could not be used for critical work any more.

I agree, used a large amount of Kodachrome 25, lovely film, like womble, I keep mine in archival quality holders. Their processing did go off towards the end so I started doing my own. Mainly use Ilford now with occasionally Fuji.

Still a sad day for us film users though.

I endorse what MattMatic has said and reiterate the use of a tripod is essential.

Getting the Vaseline off the filter is the follow-up headache. I only ever tried this technique once. What a mess.

Yes John, I had really forgotten that part of the process, it was as you say very messy, but the things you used to get up to in those days to save a few pennies, 'Heath Robinson' was the expression used in those days.

I once put some Vaseline on a filter to compare the effect with
a Zeiss Softar. I was amazed how much Vaseline it took before the
image started to soften. I rarely use filters on digital, but still
have mostly Pentax Brand ones.

shim, I used to do the very same thing with Vaseline, the problem was, you used quite a few film frames before you knew how much Vaseline to use - Ah - the good old days..

Well here's my contribution, buy yourself one 67mm Hoya polarizing filter, I assume it is for your SMC F 80 - 200mm lens, and a stepping ring to accommodate your 52mm, that way, the money you would have spent on buy two filters, can go towards one quality filter, after all "gartmore" really is quite correct and your lens line up deserves more than "a piece of junk"

I read a most favorable review of the Pentax K7 in the Amateur Photographer on Thursday, which makes a change, normally anything Pentax gets a pasting!
