Now watch the price of 645 lenses shoot up!

BTW, anyone know what the "crop factor" will be?

Good buy! It'll be nostalgic using that. K.

Looks good, especially the close ups! I have been after one of those to go on my SF7 but have fallen short in ebay auctions.... Too tight I guess

Best wishes, Kris.

Well we had a really good discussion about beer and a dull one about ipads...

Personally, I like the way these fora are more like conversations in the pub than an academic conference. I attend enough of those already!

It is Beaulieu in the New Forest, home of the motor museum etc. I went there to see the abbey which is now the village church but some of the ruins are in the museum's grounds.

Best wishes, Kris.

It might be but I do not recognise it. Here is a zoomed in view.




Thanks, Kris.

Nice shot of Belfast. A piece of trivia for you. On what are the guns of HMS Belfast trained?

Answers on a postcard please.... (and sorry to hijack your thread ).

I have been going through my slides just scanning the odd one for fun. I am embarrassed by how many are unlabelled, though. Any clues where this place is? My guess is somewhere in Sussex.

ME Super, Fujichrome ?100ASA slide film (maybe 50 but it seems so grainy), probably my SMC-M 50mm f/1.7.

Contrary to Andrew's kind words, I have not long started scanning slides/negs myself having bought a second-hand scanner from the forum. I am, however, somewhat surprised that FP4 has come out so grainy. I wouldn't have thought the 18 months in the camera would have been a problem as FP4 is supposed to be quite tolerant of bad treatment unlike some other films such as Delta 100. FP4 was my film of choice when I was at college in the 80s. It was so liberating to be using 125ASA film instead of 64!

Grain aside, I like the last two shots very much, but they could do with a bit of a tweak of the curves to up the contrast, IMHO.

Yes, dust off the MX. I spent part of this afternoon wandering around with my newly acquired KX trying out some shots in the woods. The 15mm lens on a FF camera is fun, although I had problems setting up shots without my shadow in the foreground!

Best wishes, Kris.

I believe our very own John Riley does a photo restoration service. If you want to DIY I believe places like Prontaprint will often offer a scanning service.
