Many thanks for posting that, interesting to see these documents.

I note that usually the 1000mm Takumar was supplied with a wooden tripod, but through Honeywell it is supplied with a metal tripod, and both the lens and the tripod are supplied in wooden boxes.

These long lenses appear on the market now and again, but the tripods rarely do.

Lovely images as always. Thanks for sharing Peter.

BTW, I've had problems with Agfachrome developing mould. Doesn't happen to my Kodachromes.

I don't know whether the 35mm stuff is better, but the 120 was a nightmare. I was trying to do a fluid scan and it just kept pulling away from the glass. Nothing short of superglue would have held it flat. The Lomo magnetic neg holder worked OK once you had wrestled it into place, but getting the neg in the right place without damaging it was really tricky.

I decided to stick to Pan F and a filter...

Result! Congratulations.

This wasn't especially curly, it went into the negative sleeves without any problems. These are commercial low res scans. It was one of the rolls in one of my Analogue Wonderland "wonderboxes." If you want curly, try Rollei RPX 25...

This "AP" is in a museum display in Peterborough. The display is not about photography, however, but is a mock-up of an archaeological excavation. The north arrow can be seen in the foreground, and a ranging pole (useful as a scale) in the background.

One of the films in my latest Analogue Wonderland wonderbox was Kosmo Foto mono 100. It's quite contrasty and so using it in the snow was probably not the best plan, but it is very low grain. Here are three from the roll shot in the snow last weekend. I used one of my ME Supers and one of K30/2.8, K50/1.2 or an M100/2.8. Using the ME Super reminds of John Riley's comment about how smoothly they wind on.

Some lovely monochromes. Great eye. I really like 2 and 3. I like 1 too, but I find myself wondering that the funny horizontal line in the sky is? Is it just a con trail? I would be tempted to clone it out and see what that looks like.

Check out Analogue Wonderland, they have beginners kits made by Ilford. K.

Lovely bright images full of life.

BTW, I'm loving your youtube channel. I've been going back through older postings.
