Does anyone know if the well-known problem of the Q-series ceasing to remember the date and time is something that can be repaired, and if so who is likely to be able to do it?
I thought I could just live with it but it is driving me nuts...

I had a roll of Washi-F Fluorographic film. Whacky stuff, lots of glow around the highlights and quite a bit of grain for a 100 ISO film but can create some interesting effects in the right circumstances. I had the film developed/scanned commercially and the negs are quite dense. Here are some examples taken using my MX, and either my K50/1.4 or K30/2.8.

I know blue skies and white clouds is the normal target for IR, but I really like both images especially the second one. Just lovely.

It depends on the film and the lens. I find that Ektar is fine and does not need filtration (maybe corrected at scanning/printing stage?) but even the new Ektachrome has a tendency to have a slightly blue cast. On my Yashicamat 124G I've taken to using an 81A filter to correct it. For BW film you are using filters to change the contrasts between colours so a rather different ball game.pschlute wrote:

Is this still true? I shoot colour neg (or B&W) in my Pentax 67 without UV filters and have never shot slide so I don’t have any experience. I thought maybe film had improved and this doesn’t happen any more. I also thought my lenses had enough glass to cut out the UV, but on reflection two excuses is always less convincing than one. Does anyone have a comparison?Film has a tendency to have a blue cast especially when shooting under a bright blue sky.

On my digital lenses I always used to use a filter for protection because archaeological sites are incredibly dusty and dirty. I so rarely go on site any more that I have more-or-less given up on them.

Nice ones Peter. I especially like the simplicity if the flower in the vase.

Checking out its camera-wiki page it is quite a sophisticated beast. Lyndon Booth at Londinium Cameras is another possibility.

I especially like the first photograph, beautifully moody.

I'm not going to try DIY. Cack-handed doesn't even begin to describe my abilities at delicate tasks.
Thanks, Kris.
