The link I gave above develops 110 film, but at a price!

I thought dark frame subtraction got rid of things like "hot pixels"? I'll admit I had just assumed that! You wouldn't be able to use a four hour exposure around here as there is so much light pollution the image would just be washed out.

Impressive set of photos. I especially like the dragonfly.

I had a few icons in mind but hefty has included the bloody lot in his picture. Not sure what's left now...

I'm very fond of Hobgoblin but it isn't nearly that strong.

The only problem with silica gel is that you need to dry it out or replace it fairly frequently, and the more humid the conditions the more you need to do it. Dr Mhuni's mini rechargeable dehumidifiers sound an ideal way of creating some form of dry box/cabinet.

Lenses are not the only things to suffer. My girlfriend used to live/work in South Carolina and was horrified when she found all her books at the office were covered in a fine white dusty mould, and that was in an air conditioned building.

Best wishes, Kris.

No, but it has wiped out all the money I saved buying it in the US!

I have the bill on my DA* 50-135mm repair to pay... owch

I found the 40-80 'macro' quite handy, and generally the results better than the various 28-80s I have. I mainly use it on my LX with slide film though.

I've been looking for an F35-70 for my SF7 but they are not that common compared to the many incarnations of the 28-80mm.
