Update: AG will put an order button on the page when they have a confirmed price.

Ag Photographic say you can pre-order it, but then there is no button to click on to do so...!

Hopefully that will be resolved soon.

PS please don't turn this thread into another largely pointless digital v. film argument. I use both, they are different. End of. Thanks.

Just shift with this lens, no tilt.

Go on... You know you want to! 😊

Kodak have today let retailers know it is available for order, so it'll take a little while for it to trickle down and appear in shops. I was going to talk to Silverprint and see if I could put in an advance order.

Slide film does tend to be quite a bit more pricey. I more-or-less stopped using slide film when (a) Kodachrome 64 was discontinued and (b) I started using a data projector for all my lectures rather than 35mm slides. I have a couple of rolls of Velvia 100 120 film to finish-up though, and a couple of rolls of Fuji Neopan 1600, all of which has been sitting in my freezer for a while now.

Those of us who still shoot some film will be excited to hear the new Ektachrome 100 film has been released today. I'm looking forward to trying it out. Makes a pleasant change from announcements about films being discontinued.

Apologies for blowing my own tuba... (not into trumpets!). Yesterday, one of my photos was announced the winner of the Church Monuments Society photographic prize. Not exactly the XXX Photographer of the Year, but still a nice boost to the ego, and not a bad prize. It was a print competition, so many thanks to Peter of the Siskin Press for doing such a great job of my image. The image below is one edit of this image, the print darkened down some of the bright areas in the background to give better contrast to the hands.

I'm trying to clear some space on my gear shelves and I never use these lenses, so they ought to go.

Pentacon 30mm f/3.5 lens, M42 fitting. Used once. Something funny with the front element (see photo), doesn't look like fungus, might be poorly cleaned. £15 plus postage.
